Associations of Co-Occurring Substance Use Disorder With Diabetes Care Quality, Complications, and Hospitalizations
Background: Substance use disorder (SUD) is a risk factor for diabetes complications and hospitalizations, though a full continuum of diabetes care quality and health outcomes has not been examined among patients with diabetes accessing substance use treatment. Objective: To improve care delivery, this study compared patients with diabetes and co-occurring SUD to those with diabetes and no SUD. Population: In all, 4325 patients with diabetes and …

Hospital Capabilities Associated With Behavioral Health Integration Within Emergency Departments
OBJECTIVES: To identify hospital capabilities associated with behavioral health (BH) processes in emergency departments (EDs). RESEARCH DESIGN: Six hundred two hospital responses to the 2017/2018 National Survey of Healthcare Organizations and Systems were linked to 2017 American Hospital Association Annual Survey data. Separate multivariable regressions estimated how hospital capabilities (the use of quality improvement methods, approaches to di…
Intensity of Social Needs Case Management Services and Changes in Hospital and Emergency Department Use Among Adult Medicaid Beneficiaries
OBJECTIVES: We identify the association between high- and low-intensity case management services on hospital and emergency department (ED) use among CommunityConnect patients. BACKGROUND: Social needs case management services vary in intensity, including the modality, workforce specialization, and maximum caseload. CommunityConnect is a social needs case management program implemented by Contra Costa Health, a county safety-net health system in C…
When Attitudes Become Obstacles
Future physicians who perceived fewer obstacles to reporting CM reported being more likely to report suspected CM. Misinformed fears about outcomes such as retaliation, removal of the child from the home, and being sued may interfere with future physicians' adherence to mandated reporting responsibilities. Efforts should be made early in physician education to identify and address common myths and misconceptions around mandated reporting and its …
Between health care and social services
Health care systems throughout the United States are initiating collaborations with social services agencies. These cross-sector collaborations aim to address patients' social needs-such as housing, food, income, and transportation-in health care settings. However, such collaborations can be challenging as health care and social service sectors are composed of distinct missions, institutions, professional roles, and modes of distributing resource…
Prevalence, increase and predictors of family violence during the Covid-19 pandemic, using modern machine learning approaches
Using modernized predictive algorithms, we present a spectrum of features that can have influential weight on prediction of child maltreatment. Increasing awareness about family violence consequences and promoting parenting programs centered around mental health are imperative
Factors Associated with the Writing of Opioid Prescriptions
Models of Faculty Involvement in Primary Care Residency Teaching Clinics
Through site visits to 42 teaching clinics associated with family and internal medicine residency programs during 2013–2018, the authors observed a spectrum of faculty involvement. In this Perspective, they describe and share examples of the 3 faculty models they identified. Some programs have a small, focused faculty whose members spend at least 5 half-day sessions per week seeing patients or precepting residents in the clinic. Others have a lar…
Incorporating Child Maltreatment Training into Medical School Curricula
The Child Advocacy Studies Training (CAST) program has been implemented at the graduate and undergraduate levels, but has not been incorporated in medical school training. This study examines the efficacy of a modified version of the CAST program that is tailored to meet the educational needs of medical students. A total sample of 75 first year medical students (57 at 6 month follow-up) participated in the study and completed analogue vignettes d…
The Use of Enhanced Appointment Access Strategies by Medical Practices
BACKGROUND: Strategies to enhance appointment access are being adopted by medical practices as part of patient-centered medical home (PCMH) implementation, but little is known about the use of these strategies nationally. OBJECTIVES: We examine practice use of open access scheduling and after-hours care. RESEARCH DESIGN: Data were analyzed from the Third National Study of Physician Organizations (NSPO3) to examine which enhanced appointment acces…
A multi-site study of the ACT Raising Safe Kids program
Effects of medical student training in child advocacy and child abuse prevention and intervention
The Child Advocacy Studies Training (CAST) program was developed by the National Child Protection Training Center to educate future professionals to more effectively prevent, identify, and respond to child maltreatment. The program has been implemented nationally in over 20 colleges and universities. This pilot study examines the effectiveness of the first implementation of CAST in a medical school. RESULTS indicate that medical students' self-re…
Supporting Positive Parenting in Community Health Centers
The present study involves an evaluation of the effect of the American Psychological Association's ACT Raising Safe Kids (RSK) program on parenting outcomes for families served by Community Health Centers. The ACT‐RSK program is a primary family violence and child physical abuse prevention program for parents of young children. Parents were trained in effective parenting including nonviolent discipline, child development, anger management, social…
ACT Against Violence Parents Raising Safe Kids Program
The ACT Against Violence Parents Raising Safe Kids program (ACT-PRSK) is an interactive violence prevention program developed by the American Psychological Association for parents of young children. The program teaches and supports parents in the areas of child development, roots and consequences of violence, anger management for adults and children, social problem solving, positive discipline, and the impact of media violence on children. Ninety…

Aggression in Inpatient Adolescents
Differences in aggressive behavior were examined in a primarily White sample of 84 thirteen- to seventeen-year-old depressed and nondepressed adolescent inpatients. Results indicate that depression and gender interact significantly; females with depression demonstrated more physical aggression than nondepressed females, and males with depression demonstrated less aggression than nondepressed males. These results indicate that depression is a grea…
Gender Differences in Adolescents' Possible Selves
The purpose of the study was to better understand gender differences in global self-esteem at adolescence by examining the content of and gender differences within adolescents' 'possible selves.' Possible selves are self-conceptions about both what an individual hopes to become and fears becoming. Results support the hypothesis that adolescents are able to access and report a vast array of possible selves. As hypothesized, female adolescents rate…
