Standardised assessment of personality - a study of validity and reliability in substance abusers
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2008
Publication Place: England
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Brief screening instruments for co-morbid personality disorders could potentially have great value in substance abuse treatment settings. METHODS: We assessed the psychometric properties of the 8-item Standardised Assessment of Personality - Abbreviated Scale (SAPAS) in a sample of 58 methadone maintenance patients. RESULTS: Internal consistency was modest, but similar to the original value (alpha = 0.62), and test-retest correlation at four months follow-up was moderately encouraging for a short instrument such as this (n = 31, test retest intraclass correlation = 0.58), and change at the mean level was minimal, but marginally significant (from an average of 3.3 to 3.8, p = 0.06). Analyses of nurse ratings of patients' behaviour at the clinic showed that SAPAS was significantly correlated with nurse ratings of externalizing behaviour (r = 0.42, p = 0.001), and Global Assessment of Functioning (r = -0.36, p = 0.006), but unrelated to intoxication (r = 0.02, NS), or withdrawal (r = 0.20, NS). CONCLUSION: There is evidence that the SAPAS is a modestly valid and relatively reliable brief screening measure of personality disorders in patients with ongoing substance abuse undergoing methadone maintenance. It can be used in situations where limited resources are available, and researchers or others wish to get an impression of the degree of personality pathology in a clinical population, as well as for screening purposes.

Starving in the midst of plenty? A study of training needs for child and adolescent mental health service delivery in primary care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2008
Publication Place: England
Abstract: Current UK child mental health policy seeks to engage primary care personnel in improving service delivery under the heading of 'Comprehensive CAMHS' but little is known about the size of this resource, the sufficiency of its training or its commitment to children's mental health. We surveyed local health, education and social services agencies within a UK Unitary Authority just outside London, using both questionnaire and focus group methodologies: 150 primary care personnel were identified in 14 teams. Of these 122 participated in the questionnaire survey, and 60 took part in focus groups. There was, approximately, one such team member for every 30 children with a mental health problem. Respondents reported deficiencies in skills and knowledge, but wanted training and support to increase their involvement provided it related to their daily practice, professional roles, and was developed in accordance with local needs and resources. Lack of training and organization impedes the effective deployment of a potentially huge resource for children with mental health problems. This could be addressed by appropriately tailored training courses, combined with managerial work on systems and remits. Such a programme would be needed to realize the National Service Framework's concept of a 'comprehensive CAMHS'.

State Adoption of Incentives to Promote Evidence-Based Practices in Behavioral Health Systems
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2018
Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Despite the critical role behavioral health care payers can play in creating an incentive to use evidence-based practices (EBPs), little research has examined which incentives are used in public mental health systems, the largest providers of mental health care in the United States. METHODS: The authors surveyed state mental health directors from 44 states about whether they used any of seven strategies to increase the use of EBPs. Participants also ranked attributes of each incentive on the basis of key characteristics of diffusion of innovation theory (perceived advantage, simplicity, compatibility, observability, and gradually implementable) and perceived effectiveness. RESULTS: Almost three-quarters of state directors endorsed using at least one financial incentive; most paid for training and technical assistance. Few used other incentives. Strategies perceived as simple and compatible were more readily adopted. Enhanced rates and paying for better outcomes were perceived as the most effective but were the least deployed, suggesting that simplicity and organizational compatibility may be the most decisive factors when choosing incentives. CONCLUSIONS: Payers are not using the incentives they perceive as most effective, and they are mostly using only one strategy for reasons of simplicity and compatibility. Future work should focus on barriers to measurement that likely hinder the adoption and implementation of paying for better outcomes and enhanced reimbursement rates, with the ultimate goal of measuring the effectiveness of incentives on EBP implementation efforts.

State Emergency Department Opioid Guidelines: Current Status
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2017
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate and categorize current state-sponsored opioid guidelines for the practice of emergency medicine (EM). METHODS: We conducted a comprehensive search of EM-specific opioid prescribing guidelines and/or policies in each state to determine current state involvement in EM opioid prescribing, as well as to evaluate some of the specifics of each guideline or policy. The search was conducted using an online query and a follow-up email request to each state chapter of ACEP. RESULTS: We found that 17 states had emergency department-specific guidelines. We further organized the guidelines into four categories: limiting prescriptions for opioids with 67 total recommendations; preventing/diverting abuse with 56 total recommendations; addiction-related guidelines with 29 total recommendations; and a community resources section with 24 total recommendations. Our results showed that current state guidelines focus on providers limiting opioid pain prescriptions and vetting patients for possible abuse/diversion. CONCLUSION: This study highlights the 17 states that have addressed opioid prescribing guidelines and categorizes their efforts to date. It is hoped that this study will provide the basis for similar efforts in other states.

State mental health policy: mending Missouri's safety net: transforming systems of care by integrating primary and behavioral health care
Type: Journal Article
Year: 2009
Publication Place: United States
Abstract: Missouri has begun a three-year pilot program across the state to integrate the primary care services provided by federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) and the behavioral health services provided by community mental health centers (CMHCs). This column describes the integration initiative, in which start-up funds were provided in 2008 to seven FQHC-CMHC partnerships (a total of $700,000 to each pair over 3.5 years). It reviews lessons learned during the first year of the project in bringing these two very different public systems of care together to mend the public health safety net.
