Pharmacogenomic testing for mental health (Part II): qualitative analysis of early adopter prescriber perceptions.

We sought to explore how early adopters use pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing for treating depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Prescribers of the (Progenity, Inc., Ann Arbor, MI 48108, USA) test completed a phone survey assessing use of PGx testing for different scenarios.

Pharmacogenomic testing for mental health (Part I): documenting early adopter perceptions of use for eight scenarios.

We sought to understand how early adopters used pharmacogenomic (PGx) testing for treating depression and attention deficient hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We conducted a phone survey with prescribers who had previously ordered an (Progenity, Inc., MI, USA) test.

Understanding the Feasibility, Acceptability, and Efficacy of a Clinical Pharmacist-led Mobile Approach (BPTrack) to Hypertension Management: Mixed Methods Pilot Study.

Background: Hypertension is a prevalent and costly burden in the United States. Clinical pharmacists within care teams provide effective management of hypertension, as does home blood pressure monitoring; however, concerns about data quality and latency are widespread. One approach to close the gap between clinical pharmacist intervention and home blood pressure monitoring is the use of mobile health (mHealth) technology.

Impact of an on-site perinatal mood disorders clinic in the diagnosis and management of perinatal mood disorders.

Objectives To assess change in Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) scores in women treated at the Perinatal Mood Disorders Clinic (PMDC) as a measure of improvement in perinatal mood disorders (primary outcome), and treatment disposition at final visit. Methods Chart review was performed for all PMDC patients between March 1, 2017 and June 1, 2018 (n=120), as a self-controlled case series design. Two-tailed t-tests compared initial and final EPDS scores for all patients with >1 visit (n=64), where EPDS score of ≥13 indicated a positive screen for depression.

Utilizing Consumer Health Informatics to Support Management of Hypertension by Clinical Pharmacists in Primary Care: Study Protocol.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is a major public health concern in the United States given its wide prevalence, high cost, and poor rates of control. Multiple strategies to counter this growing epidemic have been studied, and home blood pressure (BP) monitoring, mobile health (mHealth) interventions, and referrals to clinical pharmacists for BP management have all shown potential to be effective intervention strategies.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to establish feasibility and acceptability of BPTrack, a clinical pharmacist-led mHealth intervention that aims to improve BP control by supporting home BP monitoring and medication adherence among patients with uncontrolled HTN.

Text Messaging to Improve Hypertension Medication Adherence in African Americans From Primary Care and Emergency Department Settings: Results From Two Randomized Feasibility Studies.

Background: Hypertension (HTN) is an important problem in the United States, with an estimated 78 million Americans aged 20 years and older suffering from this condition. Health disparities related to HTN are common in the United States, with African Americans suffering from greater prevalence of the condition than whites, as well as greater severity, earlier onset, and more complications. Medication adherence is an important component of HTN management, but adherence is often poor, and simply forgetting to take medications is often cited as a reason.
