Current evidence indicates there remains a large gap in the provision of depression care, particularly in primary care. Several studies have demonstrated that interventions based on the chronic disease management model can improve patient outcomes. Challenges include designing more robust interventions that can move easily into a wide variety of primary care organizations. More research is needed ...... hiện toàn bộ

The study examined the flow of a state mental health agency's case-managed clients into its forensic mental health court clinic systems for evaluation of competency to stand trial (CST) for a criminal offense. An analysis of merged encounter data from the case management and court clinic systems revealed that roughly 2% of the case-managed population were referred to court clinics for evaluation o...... hiện toàn bộ
Interpreting Results in Mental Health ResearchSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 91-97 - 2001

It is often difficult to interpret the clinical or policy significance of findings from mental health research when results are presented only in terms of statistical significance. Results expressed in terms of p values or as a metric corresponding to a mental health status scale are seldom intuitively meaningful. To help interpret the significance of research results, we demonstrate a social vali...... hiện toàn bộ

We examine the impact of the two Partners in Care (PIC) primary care quality improvement (QI) interventions on counseling services. The QI interventions aimed to increase service use, and thereby improve outcomes, and have been shown to indeed improve patient outcomes (e.g., K. B. Wells et al., 2000). But whether or not use of counseling services actually increased has not yet been examined. The Q...... hiện toàn bộ

In this paper the use of a maximum individualized change score is proposed as an analytic alternative to the more traditional MANOVA and latent variable approaches in studies examining the use of individually tailored interventions. This strategy offers a number of significant advantages when multiple indicators are used to assess a broad array of potential outcomes that might result from client-s...... hiện toàn bộ
Patient, Provider, and Treatment Factors Associated with Poor-Quality Care for SchizophreniaSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 201-211 - 1999
Alexander S. Young, Greer Sullivan, Naihua Duan
Interventions are needed to improve the quality of care for schizophrenia. However, in designing these interventions it would be helpful to understand better which patients are at highest risk for poor-quality care and why care for this disorder is often of poor quality. We study the extent to which patient and treatment factors are associated with poor-quality care in 224 patients randomly sample...... hiện toàn bộ

While there has been increased attention to consumers' satisfaction with mental health services as an indicator of quality of care, little is known about the construct of consumer satisfaction, especially for youth. The goal of this study was to examine potential correlates of adolescents' satisfaction with mental health services. One hundred eighty adolescents who had received out-patient mental ...... hiện toàn bộ
