The Fracture of Relational Space in Depression: Predicaments in Primary Care Help Seeking
Primary care clinicians treat the majority of cases of depression in the United States. The primary care clinic is also a site for enactment of a disease-oriented concept of depression that locates disorder within an individual body. Drawing on theories of the self and stigma, this article highlights problematics of primary care depression treatment by examining the lived experience of depression. The data come from individuals who screened posit…
How a Therapy-Based Quality Improvement Intervention for Depression Affected Life Events and Psychological Well-Being Over Time: A 9-Year Longitudinal Analysis
Background: Short-term quality improvement (QI) interventions for depression can improve long-term mental health but mechanisms are unknown. We hypothesized that 1 pathway for such health benefits was an indirect effect with QI reducing risk factors for depression such as stressful life events. Objective: To determine whether 6–12 month QI programs for depression reduce negative life events at 5-year follow-up and to model the relationship betwee…
Do the Effects of Quality Improvement for Depression Care Differ for Men and Women: Results of a Group-Level Randomized Controlled Trial
Objective: We sought to examine whether a quality improvement (QI) program for depression care is effective for both men and women and whether their responses differed. Design: We instituted a group-level, randomized, controlled trial in 46 primary care practices within 6 managed care organizations. Clinics were randomized to usual care or to 1 of 2 QI programs that supported QI teams, provider training, nurse assessment and patient education, an…

Can Utility-Weighted Health-Related Quality-of-Life Estimates Capture Health Effects of Quality Improvement for Depression
BACKGROUND: Utility methods that are responsive to changes in desirable outcomes are needed for cost-effectiveness (CE) analyses and to help in decisions about resource allocation. OBJECTIVES: Evaluated is the responsiveness of different methods that assign utility weights to subsets of SF-36 items to average improvements in health resulting from quality improvement (QI) interventions for depression. DESIGN: A group level, randomized, control tri…
Coping, Conflictual Social Interactions, Social Support, and Mood Among HIV‐Infected Persons
This study considers the interrelationships among coping, conflictual social interactions, and social support, as well as their combined associations with positive and negative mood. Research has shown that each of these variables affects adjustment to stressful circumstances. Few studies, however, examine this full set of variables simultaneously. One hundred forty HIV‐infected persons completed a questionnaire containing measures of coping, soc…
Development of a Brief Diagnostic Screen for Panic Disorder in Primary Care
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of a brief screening tool for panic disorder in the primary care setting. METHODS: A total of 1476 primary care outpatients in three primary care medical clinics on the West Coast of the United States were studied. Patients completed a brief self-report measure, the five-item Autonomic Nervous System Questionnaire (ANS), while in the waiting room. The presence of DSM-IV panic disor…
The MOS 36-ltem Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36): III. Tests of Data Quality, Scaling Assumptions, and Reliability Across Diverse Patient Groups
The widespread use of standardized health surveys is predicated on the largely untested assumption that scales constructed from those surveys will satisfy minimum psychometric requirements across diverse population groups. Data from the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) were used to evaluate data completeness and quality, test scaling assumptions, and estimate internal-consistency reliability for the eight scales constructed from the MOS SF-36 Health …
The rand 36‐item health survey 1.0
Recently, Ware and Sherbourne 1 published a new short‐form health survey, the MOS 36‐Item Short‐Form Health Survey (SF‐36), consisting of 36 items included in long‐form measures developed for the Medical Outcomes Study. The SF‐36 taps eight health concepts: physical functioning, bodily pain, role limitations due to physical health problems, role limitations due to personal or emotional problems, general mental health, social functioning, energy/f…
The MOS 36-ltem Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36): I. Conceptual Framework and Item Selection
A 36-item short-form (SF-36) was constructed to survey health status in the Medical Outcomes Study. The SF-36 was designed for use in clinical practice and research, health policy evaluations, and general population surveys. The SF-36 includes one multi-item scale that assesses eight health concepts: 1) limitations in physical activities because of health problems; 2) limitations in social activities because of physical or emotional problems; 3) …
The MOS social support survey
Marital Status, Social Support, and Health Transitions in Chronic Disease Patients
Married persons tend to be healthier, both physically and mentally, than unmarried persons. We tested the hypothesis that being married results in better physical and mental health outcomes for chronic disease patients (N = 1,817) by increasing social support. We modeled health outcomes one year later, controlling for initial health status. Cross-validation studies of two random halves of the sample supported an indirect effect of marital status …
