A Case Study of Veteran Patient‐Researcher Partnerships in Mental Health Research and Practice
INTRODUCTION: Veteran patient partnerships in research improve patient-centred healthcare outcomes within US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) medical centres. To achieve this, researchers must contextualize perspectives, motivations, and contributions of Veteran patients engaged in research (VPERs) as valued consultants within a complex healthcare environment. Our objective was to investigate best practices for research teams partnering with V…
Policy Statement
The Anthropology of Mental Health Interest Group affirms that the state of mental health in Academic Anthropology needs serious attention and transformation. We respond to structural inequities in academia that exacerbate mental distress among graduate students and other anthropologists who experience oppression, by putting forward a policy statement with recommendations to create more equitable learning and working environments
Leveraging anthropological expertise to respond to the Covid-19 global mental health syndemic
This commentary asks anthropologists to work within communities to actively address the global mental health impact of COVID-19 and contribute to the pandemic response. Multiple social and physical losses, worsened by numerous factors, have produced syndemic traumatic stress and suffering across populations, highlighting persistent inequalities further amplified by the effects of COVID-19. Specifically, anthropologists can work to contribute to t…
The Collaborative Chronic Care Model for Mental Health Conditions
BACKGROUND: Extensive evidence indicates that Collaborative Chronic Care Models (CCMs) improve outcome in chronic medical conditions and depression treated in primary care. Beginning with an evidence synthesis which indicated that CCMs are also effective for multiple mental health conditions, we describe a multistage process that translated this knowledge into evidence-based health system change in the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). EVID…
Factor structure of the Q-LES-Q short form in an enrolled mental health clinic population
The English version of the Q-LES-Q-SF is a valid, reliable self-report instrument for assessing quality of life. Its factor structure can be best described as one strong psychosocial factor. Differences in underlying factor structure across studies may be due to limitations in using EFA on Likert scales, language, culture, locus of participant recruitment, disease burden, and mode of administration
