In the past 40 years, cognitive-behavior therapy (CBT) has emerged as the initial treatment of choice for patients with mild to moderate depression, anxiety disorders and other problems. In this paper, we discuss issues related to the dissemination and implementation of CBT in various practice settings as well as the use of manuals, computers, the telephone, and the Internet to aid dissemination and implementation. We review key aspects of CBT dissemination, such as the reach of CBT, models of dissemination, and obstacles and barriers to dissemination including patient interest, therapist training and research priorities. The effectiveness of manualized programs is considered, as well as the increasing sophistication of computer-assisted therapy. Stepped-care approaches are discussed as a viable solution to some of these barriers. We provide two examples of successful CBT dissemination, the Staying Free program, a smoking cessation program for inpatients, and the Improving Access to Psychological Therapies program in Britain, which aims to improve access to psychological therapy. We argue that two critical factors will determine the success of implementation of CBT in this century: 1) mandated outcomes and 2) leadership.

: The integration of pharmacogenetic (PGx) testing into primary care has not been widely implemented, despite its benefits for patients and providers. PGx testing could also reduce health disparities as patients with lower healthcare access are prescribed higher proportions of medications with PGx guidelines. Little is known about the preferences of patients who have experienced PGx testing to inform implementation across the care process.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the change in the patient's background and attitude toward infertility treatment both before and after the initiation of insurance coverage and to explore future issues from the patients' perspectives.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted in a fertility clinic in Japan from February to June 2022. An original questionnaire was given for two groups of new patients at a fertility clinic on their first visit: before fertility treatment insurance coverage started (Before-coverage) and after fertility treatment insurance coverage started (After-coverage).

Introduction: Both hearing loss and dementia are associated with ageing, and it is thought that many individuals living with dementia also live with hearing loss. Despite the large comorbidity between these two disorders, there remains a clear lack of established guidelines in audiological services for assessing and managing patients living with dementia. This scoping review aims to examine whether specialist clinical pathways exist in audiology services for people living with coexisting hearing loss and dementia and to describe the specific components and features of these pathways.

In this study, we evaluated the growth parameters and cutting production of cassava genotypes during three subsequent plantlet production cycles using three single substrates, namely, KlasmannTS3 (K), vermiculite (V), and local peat (P), and three blended substrates. The blended substrates were a combination of 25% K and 75% P (K25P75), a combination of V and P at respective rates of 25% and 75% (V25P75), and respective rates of 10% and 90% (V10P90).
