Perinatal psychiatry access programs offer a scalable approach to building the capacity of perinatal professionals identify, assess, and treat mental health conditions. Little is known about programs' implementation relative merits differing approaches. We conducted surveys semistructured interviews with program staff reviewed policy procedure documents from fifteen that had been implemented in United States as March 2021, when study was conducted. Since then, number has grown thirty state,...
Abstract A family’s journey in understanding their child’s behaviors relation to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) frequently begins with screening. This study aimed characterize the interpretive processes that unfold for parents. We employed longitudinal interviews 19 families engaged a community-based multi-stage screening protocol. Parents participated 1–6 dependent upon children’s length of engagement protocol; data were analyzed through modified grounded theory. who moved towards as ASD...
Abstract Introduction: Implementation scientists increasingly recognize that the process of implementation is dynamic, leading to ad hoc modifications may challenge fidelity in protocol-driven interventions. However, limited attention impairs investigators’ ability develop evidence-based hypotheses about how such impact intervention effectiveness and cost. We propose a multi-method map methodology facilitate systematic data collection necessary characterize primary outcomes. Methods: employ...
Digital interventions are increasingly in demand to address mental health concerns, with significant potential reach populations that disproportionately face barriers accessing care. Challenges user engagement, however, persist. The goal of this study was develop personas inform the development a digital intervention (DMHI) for perinatal population.
Abstract Background To “model and simulate change” is an accepted strategy to support implementation at scale. Much like a power analysis can inform decisions about study design, simulation models offer analytic synthesize evidence that informs regarding of evidence-based interventions. However, modeling under-utilized in science. realize the potential as , additional methods are required assist stakeholders use examine underlying assumptions, consider alternative strategies, anticipate...
Abstract Background Calls have been made for greater application of the decision sciences to investigate and improve use research evidence in mental health policy practice. This article proposes a novel method, “decision sampling,” study decision-making programmatic innovation. An illustrative case applies sampling framework decisions by mid-level administrators when developing system-wide interventions identify treat trauma children entering foster care. Methods Decision grounds qualitative...
Abstract Active participation of youth and surrogate decision-makers in providing informed consent assent for mental health treatment is critical. However, the procedural elements an process, particularly child welfare custody, are not well defined. Given calls psychotropic medication oversight this study proposes a taxonomy policies based upon formal informal then examines whether enacted state across United States endorsed these elements. A sequential multi-method design included: (1)...

In gezinnen met een kind autismespectrumstoornis (ASS) begint ‘de reis’ die ouders maken in het leren begrijpen van gedrag hun vaak tijdens de screening. Het doel dit onderzoek was beeld te krijgen interpretatieve processen daarbij op gang komen. Daarvoor namen we longitudinale interviews af bij 19 plaatselijke hulpverleningsinstantie meertraps-screeningsprotocol doorliepen. De data werden geanalyseerd vanuit aangepaste gefundeerde theoriebenadering. Ouders begrepen als uiting ASS gaven...
