Article Synopsis
  • Integrated behavioral health programs, like the PHLOW Program, help reduce costs and improve patient outcomes, but funding challenges hinder their widespread adoption.
  • The PHLOW Program uses a collaborative care model to provide accessible psychiatric care through primary care providers, demonstrating effective patient outcomes through brief episodes of care.
  • Results show reductions in anxiety and depression, lower mental health claims, and increased financial support, suggesting a viable model for other organizations to implement similar integrated behavioral health programs.

Although deficits in emotion recognition have been widely reported in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), experiments have been restricted to either facial or vocal expressions.

Compared to TD controls, children with ASD had rather high and heterogeneous emotion recognition scores but showed also several significant differences: lower emotion recognition scores for visual stimuli, for neutral emotion, and a greater number of saccades during visual task.
