Creating a Program to Support Registering and Reporting Clinical Trials at Johns Hopkins University
PROBLEM: The Food and Drug Administration Amendments Act of 2007 (FDAAA) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) require that many clinical trials register and report results on ClinicalTrials.gov. Noncompliance with these policies denies research participants and scientists access to potentially relevant findings and could lead to monetary penalties or loss of funding. After discovering hundreds of potentially noncompliant trials affiliated …
Approaches to Measuring Trends in Interdisciplinary Research Publications at One Academic Medical Center
PURPOSE: To determine if interdisciplinary research has increased between 2005 and 2015, based on an analysis of journal articles containing at least 1 author from Johns Hopkins University, and to compare different methods for determining the disciplinarity of research articles. METHOD: In 2017-2018, 100 peer-reviewed biomedical science articles were randomly selected from years 2005, 2010, and 2015 and classified as unidisciplinary or interdisci…
Alcohol Consumption and Domain-Specific Cognitive Function in Older Adults
Results suggest that higher alcohol consumption in midlife may impair some components of executive function in late life
Are We Misjudging How Well Informed Consent Forms are Read
UNDERSTANDING THAT INFORMED CONSENT forms are provided to be read and comprehended, this study compares the research assistant's perception of comprehension with the actual time potential participants spend reading their consent form. After providing information verbally to two samples of women, research assistants observed as the women reviewed and signed the consent form recording the time spent reading and the assistant's impression of reading…

The Effect of Integrated Medical-Substance Abuse Treatment During an Acute Illness on Subsequent Health Services Utilization
BACKGROUND: The acute care hospital provides a context for engaging difficult to reach patients in substance abuse treatment (SAT); however, little is known regarding the effects of such engagement on subsequent health services utilization. We examined whether a structured day hospital (DH) intervention integrating SAT and medical care during an acute medical hospitalization would reduce subsequent emergency department (ED) use and rehospitalizat…
Testing for Statistical Discrimination by Race/Ethnicity in Panel Data for Depression Treatment in Primary Care
Enhanced physician-patient communication and use of standardized depression instruments may reduce statistical discrimination arising from clinical uncertainty and be useful in reducing racial/ethnic inequities in depression treatment
Primary Care Patients’ Involvement in Decision-Making Is Associated With Improvement in Depression
BACKGROUND: Depression is undertreated in primary care settings. Little research investigates the impact of patient involvement in decisions on guideline-concordant treatment and depression outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to determine whether patient involvement in decision-making is associated with guideline-concordant care and improvement in depression symptoms. DESIGN: Prospective cohort study. SETTING: Multisite, nationwi…
The Mediation Effect of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms on the Relationship of Intimate Partner Violence and IFN-γ Levels
BACKGROUND: Women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV) report greater stress and negative health consequences than nonabused women. Although an association between psychological stress and altered immune function has been shown, IPV studies have not investigated this relationship. OBJECTIVE: This study explored the association of IPV with mental health symptoms and an immune marker to determine if posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) sy…
Patient-Centered Communication, Ratings of Care, and Concordance of Patient and Physician Race
BACKGROUND: African-American patients who visit physicians of the same race rate their medical visits as more satisfying and participatory than do those who see physicians of other races. Little research has investigated the communication process in race-concordant and race-discordant medical visits. OBJECTIVES: To compare patient-physician communication in race-concordant and race-discordant visits and examine whether communication behaviors exp…
The Acceptability of Treatment for Depression Among African-American, Hispanic, and White Primary Care Patients
BACKGROUND: Ethnic minority patients are less likely than white patients to receive guideline-concordant care for depression. It is uncertain whether racial and ethnic differences exist in patient beliefs, attitudes, and preferences for treatment. METHODS: A telephone survey was conducted of 829 adult patients (659 non-Hispanic whites, 97 African Americans, 73 Hispanics) recruited from primary care offices across the United States who reported 1 …
Mental Health Service Utilization by African Americans and Whites
OBJECTIVE: To compare mental health service utilization and its associated factors between African Americans and whites in the 1980s and 1990s. DESIGN: Household-based longitudinal study with baseline interviews in 1981 and follow-up interviews from 1993 to 1996. SETTING: The Baltimore Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) Follow-Up. SUBJECTS: Subjects included 1,662 adults (590 African Americans and 1,072 whites). MAIN OUTCOME VARIABLE: Use of ment…
Identification of patient attitudes and preferences regarding treatment of depression
Exercise and depression in midlife
OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship of self-reported physical activity with subsequent depression and psychiatric distress. METHODS: Physical activity was assessed in medical school and midlife in 973 physicians as part of a prospective observational study. Outcome measures were the incidence of self-reported clinical depression and psychiatric distress on the General Health Questionnaire. RESULTS: The risk of depression was similar …
Depressive symptoms among general medical patients
Using prospective data from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Epidemiologic Catchment Area surveys, we examined the relationship of depressive symptoms among patients seen by general medical practitioners, with the subsequent development of major depressive disorder. The goals of the analysis were to determine 1) the 1-year psychiatric status of these individuals, and 2) to evaluate factors associated with the risk of major depressiv…
Characteristics of Patients With Major Depression Who Received Care in General Medical and Specialty Mental Health Settings
The purpose of this analysis was to compare depressed patients receiving care in the general medical setting with depressed patients receiving care in specialty mental health settings. The analysis was limited to 559 respondents from the NIMH Epidemiologic Catchment Area (ECA) study who met criteria for the diagnosis of major depression sometime in the year before the interview as defined by the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Patients who receive…
Can Patients Use an Automated Questionnaire to Define Their Current Health Status
Patient management decisions rarely incorporate standardized health status assessments, since accurate and reliable measures are difficult and expensive to obtain. In prior research with various methods for obtaining health data from patients, it was found that physicians' acceptance of a method was improved if it provided an individualized printout. It was also determined that patients will readily complete a health status questionnaire on a com…
Epidemiologic Study of Sleep Disturbances and Psychiatric Disorders
As part of the National Institute of Mental Health Epidemiologic Catchment Area study, 7954 respondents were questioned at baseline and 1 year later about sleep complaints and psychiatric symptoms using the Diagnostic Interview Schedule. Of this community sample, 10.2% and 3.2% noted insomnia and hypersomnia, respectively, at the first interview. Forty percent of those with insomnia and 46.5% of those with hypersomnia had a psychiatric disorder c…
The General Health Questionnaire by Interview
The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) is a widely used method of assessing psychiatric distress in clinical settings and in the community. The authors administered a 20-item interview version of the GHQ and a battery of survey items on use of ambulatory health care services to 3,389 respondents in eastern Baltimore as part of the Epidemiologic Catchment Area survey. In addition, a subsample of these respondents (n = 810) was examined by research…
