Participants who met inclusion criteria were ≥18 years old, taking antipsychotic agents...
Individuals with psychotic disorders have increased mortality, and recent research suggests a marked increase shortly after diagnosis.To use population-based data to examine overall cause-specific mortality first diagnosis of disorder.This cohort study used records from 5 integrated health systems that serve more than 8 million members in states. Members aged 16 through 30 years who received lifetime disorder September 30, 2009, 2015, 2 comparison groups matched for age, sex, system, year...
Most clinic-based weight control treatments for youth have been designed preadolescent children by using family-based care. However, as adolescents become more autonomous and less motivated parental influence, this strategy may be appropriate. This study evaluated a primary care-based, multicomponent lifestyle intervention specifically tailored overweight adolescent females.Adolescent girls (N = 208) 12 to 17 years of age (mean ± SD: 14.1 1.4 years), with mean SD BMI percentile 97.09 2.27,...
Increasing evidence supports the effectiveness of comprehensive early intervention at first onset psychotic symptoms. Implementation programs will require population-based data on overall incidence symptoms and care settings presentation.In five large health systems, electronic records were used to identify all occurrences psychosis diagnoses among persons ages 15-59 between January 1, 2007, December 31, 2013 (N=37,843). For a random sample these putative cases (N=1,337), review full-text...

Diagnoses included schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar affective psychosis. Data sources self-reported standardized measures, interviewer ratings, qualitative interviews, data. conceptualized as...
Veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are increasingly seeking service dogs to help them manage trauma-related symptoms, yet literature describing dog use in this population is scant. The goal of study was document the benefits and challenges experienced by veterans trained assist PTSD-related needs.Participants were (N = 41) dogs, their caregivers (n 8), recruited through community-based training agencies. We conducted in-depth interviews observed sessions as part a larger...
Abstract Background Individuals with major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar (BD) have particularly high rates of chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) are also more likely to receive prescription opioids for their pain.

The United States is in the middle of an opioid overdose epidemic, and experts are calling for improved detection use disorders (OUDs) treatment with buprenorphine or extended release (XR) injectable naltrexone, which can be prescribed general medical settings. To better understand magnitude opportunities among primary care (PC) patients, we estimated prevalence documented OUD medication PC patients.
Most people with opioid use disorder (OUD) never receive treatment. Medication treatment of OUD in primary care is recommended as an approach to increase access care. The PRimary Care Opioid Use Disorders (PROUD) trial tests whether implementation a collaborative model (Massachusetts Model) using nurse manager (NCM) support medication increases and improves outcomes. Specifically, it care, compared usual the number days for (implementation objective) reduces acute health utilization...
Statistical models, including those based on electronic health records, can accurately identify patients at high risk for a suicide attempt or death, leading to implementation of prediction models population-based prevention in systems. However, some have questioned whether statistical predictions really inform clinical decisions. Appropriately reconciling algorithms with traditional clinician assessment depends from these two methods are competing, complementary, merely duplicative. In June...
The authors measured implementation of Zero Suicide (ZS) clinical practices that support identification suicide risk and mitigation, including screening, assessment, lethal means counseling, across mental health specialty primary care settings.
