In the United States, about 5% of pediatric Emergency Department (ED) visits involve mental and behavioral health (MBH) emergencies, and EDs are often ill-equipped to provide timely, appropriate care, leading to prolonged stays and increased risks of trauma and harm for these children and their families. This study investigated technological barriers affecting safe and effective pediatric mental and behavioral healthcare in emergency departments through observational studies and semi-structured interviews with 55 medical professionals across four ED settings: pediatric MBH unit, pediatric ED, and adult ED. A total of 12 barrier themes were identified through the thematic analysis of the interviews relating to technology use that impacts the care of pediatric MBH patients.

Background: First-episode psychosis (FEP) imposes a substantial burden not only on the individual affected but also on their families. Given that FEP usually occurs during adolescence, families overtake a big part of informal care. Early family interventions, especially psychoeducation, are crucial for informal family caregivers to best support the recovery of their loved one with FEP and to reduce the risk of a psychotic relapse as much as possible, but also to avoid chronic stress within the family due to the burden of care.

Patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) represent a high-risk population due to increased rates of adverse health outcomes and death. To evaluate whether telehealth utilization during OUD treatment compared with in-person encounters alone was associated with emergency department (ED) utilization, inpatient admissions, and mortality within three years of initiating buprenorphine. We conducted a retrospective cohort study within the Veterans Health Administration among Veterans treated for OUD between 2012 and -2022.
