Responding to the Under-Utilisation of Necessary Health Care in the Time of COVID-19: A Precision Public Health intervention.

The Veterans' Medicines Advice and Therapeutics Education Services (MATES) program is a national data driven, behaviorally informed, health intervention to improve the use of medicines among Australian veterans. The program, which has been operating since 2004, has led the way in the use of government held data assets to generate evidenced-based health information, which, when provided to clinicians alongside educational materials, can make demonstrable improvements in health and promote practice change.
