Artificial Neural Network Analysis Examining Substance Use Problems Co-Occurring with Anxiety and Depressive Disorders Among Adults Receiving Mental Health Treatment.

The co-occurrence of anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and substance use problems was examined. The Mental Health Client-Level Data dataset was used to conduct logistic regression models and an artificial neural network analysis. Logistic regression analyses were conducted among adults with anxiety ( = 547,473) or depressive disorders ( = 1,610,601) as their primary diagnosis who received treatment in a community mental health center.

Scientific civility and academic performance.

In modern science, interdisciplinary and collaborative research is encouraged among scientists to solve complex problems. However, when the time comes to measure an individual's academic productivity, collaborative efforts are hard to conceptualize and quantify. In this study, we hypothesized that a social behavior coined "scientific civility", which encompasses civility, collaboration, cooperation, or a combination of these, enhances an individual's productivity influencing their academic performance.

Prevalence of incivility between ophthalmology and emergency medicine residents during interdepartmental consultations.

Objectives: Since incivility is linked to adverse effects in patient care and health care worker well-being, evaluation of the prevalence of incivility during the formative years of residency training is warranted. The aim of this study was to determine the perceived presence and degree of incivility between emergency medicine (EM) and ophthalmology residents during emergency department (ED) consultations.

Methods: We conducted a single-site, survey-based study, targeted to ophthalmology and EM residents.

Provider perceived barriers and facilitators to integrating routine outcome monitoring into practice in an urban community psychiatry clinic: A mixed-methods quality improvement project.

Background And Aims: Although mental health clinics are under increasing pressure to demonstrate value and routine outcome monitoring (ROM) has become a mandated component of care, providers have been slow to adopt ROM into practice, with some estimating that less than 20% of mental health clinicians use it consistently in the United States. This article explores perceived barriers and facilitators to integrating ROM into practice among clinicians and administrators in a large urban US community psychiatry clinic.

Method: One hundred and thirty-eight clinical and administrative staff were administered an anonymous web-based survey to elicit attitudes towards ROM.

Preliminary validation of the Rating of Outcome Scale and equivalence of ultra-brief measures of well-being.

Three brief psychotherapy outcome measures were assessed for equivalence. The Rating of Outcome Scale (ROS), a 3-item patient-reported outcome measure, was evaluated for interitem consistency, test-retest reliability, discriminant validity, repeatability, sensitivity to change, and agreement with the Outcome Rating Scale (ORS) and Outcome Questionnaire (OQ) in 1 clinical sample and 3 community samples. Clinical cutoffs, reliable change indices, and Bland-Altman repeatability coefficients were calculated.
