Article Synopsis
- Measurement-based care (MBC) enhances evidence-based practices (EBPs) by providing personalized feedback reports to clients and clinicians, particularly for young people with early psychosis.
- A study evaluated these feedback reports at five specialty care programs, comparing outcomes for clients who received reports versus those who did not over their first six months of treatment.
- Results indicated improvements in decision-making and treatment engagement among clients receiving feedback, with they participating more in supportive services, although overall statistical significance was not achieved.
Article Synopsis
- Measurement-based care (MBC) helps improve mental health treatment by using feedback to make it better for patients and doctors.
- This study looked at a special feedback report given to people with early psychosis to see if it helped them in their care.
- The results showed that those who got the feedback report felt more involved in their treatment and attended more sessions, while both groups improved their symptoms.
Objectives: Safety practices such as storing a firearm locked and unloaded are widely promoted although not universally applied. Educating patients about firearm safety practices is effective in increasing safe firearms storage behaviors; however, screening for safe firearm storage in practice remains low. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether our clinic population was at risk for firearm-related injuries and whether opportunities existed to study risk-mitigation interventions in future work.

However, it is unknown if these phenomena translate to short-duration explosive exercises. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influences of preferred and non-preferred music on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance, isometric mid-thigh pull (IMTP), and psychological responses to music during explosive movements.

In 2013, the HIV Organ Policy Equity (HOPE) Act was passed, allowing PWH to donate organs to other PWH. No study has assessed organ quality and quantity among a national pool of PWH.

Methods: We surveyed our center's living kidney donors.
Objectives/hypothesis: To evaluate muscle fatigue and participant pain in the upper back, cervical, and arm muscles associated with microlaryngeal surgery (MLS) in standardized favorable and unfavorable ergonomic positions.
Study Design: Individual randomized counterbalanced design.
Methods: Electromyographic sensors were placed on targeted muscles involved with performing MLS on 18 otolaryngology residents/fellows.
