Use of concept mapping to characterize relationships among implementation strategies and assess their feasibility and importance
BACKGROUND: Poor terminological consistency for core concepts in implementation science has been widely noted as an obstacle to effective meta-analyses. This inconsistency is also a barrier for those seeking guidance from the research literature when developing and planning implementation initiatives. The Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) study aims to address one area of terminological inconsistency: discrete implementation s…
A refined compilation of implementation strategies
BACKGROUND: Identifying, developing, and testing implementation strategies are important goals of implementation science. However, these efforts have been complicated by the use of inconsistent language and inadequate descriptions of implementation strategies in the literature. The Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change (ERIC) study aimed to refine a published compilation of implementation strategy terms and definitions by systematically …
An introduction to implementation science for the non-specialist
The authors aim to introduce implementation science principles to non-specialist investigators, administrators, and policymakers seeking to become familiar with this emerging field. This introduction is based on published literature and the authors' experience as researchers in the field, as well as extensive service as implementation science grant reviewers. Implementation science is "the scientific study of methods to promote the systematic upt…
Routine Outcomes Monitoring to Support Improving Care for Schizophrenia
In schizophrenia, treatments that improve outcomes have not been reliably disseminated. A major barrier to improving care has been a lack of routinely collected outcomes data that identify patients who are failing to improve or not receiving effective treatments. To support high quality care, the VA Mental Health QUERI used literature review, expert interviews, and a national panel process to increase consensus regarding outcomes monitoring instr…
The Effect of Improving Primary Care Depression Management on Employee Absenteeism and Productivity
OBJECTIVE: To test whether an intervention to improve primary care depression management significantly improves productivity at work and absenteeism over 2 years. SETTING AND SUBJECTS: Twelve community primary care practices recruiting depressed primary care patients identified in a previsit screening. RESEARCH DESIGN: Practices were stratified by depression treatment patterns before randomization to enhanced or usual care. After delivering brief…
Impact of Ongoing Primary Care Intervention on Long Term Outcomes In Uninsured and Insured Patients With Depression
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: To assess the differential impact of an ongoing primary care depression intervention on uninsured and insured patients' outcomes 12, 18, and 24 months following baseline. RESEARCH DESIGN: Quasi-experimental longitudinal study of insured and uninsured patients with depression receiving treatment from 12 practices randomized to enhanced (intervention) and usual care study conditions. SUBJECTS: In 1996 to 1997, 383 nonelde…
Resolving Disparities in Antidepressant Treatment and Quality-of-Life Outcomes Between Uninsured and Insured Primary Care Patients With Depression
BACKGROUND: Efforts to improve primary care depression treatment should penetrate to vulnerable uninsured populations. OBJECTIVE: To assess a primary care intervention's impact on treatment and quality-of-life outcomes in uninsured and insured depressed patients during the acute treatment phase. RESEARCH DESIGN: Twelve community primary care practices were randomized to 'enhanced' (intervention) and usual care conditions. Physicians, nurses and a…
Treatment of Depression in Rural Arkansas
Policy‐makers have long suspected that greater barriers to care result in depressed rural residents being less likely to receive high‐quality treatment. This study recruited 470 depressed community residents in a 1992 telephone survey, followed 95 percent of them through one year, and abstracted additional data on their health care utilization from insurance claims, medical and pharmacy records. Bivariate and multivariate models demonstrated that…
Rural‐Urban Differences in Service Use and Course of Illness in Bipolar Disorder
Policy analysts have long been concerned that the reduced availability of mental health professionals in rural areas prohibits rural individuals from getting the care they need for serious psychiatric conditions like bipolar disorder. Through a community‐based telephone survey, the researchers recruited 54 subjects with bipolar disorder who were currently experiencing depressive episodes. Forty‐six (85.1%) of them were reinterviewed one year afte…
Rural-Urban Differences in Depression Treatment and Suicidality
OBJECTIVES: Because there are fewer per capita providers trained to deliver mental health services in rural areas, the authors hypothesized that depressed rural individuals would receive less outpatient treatment and report higher rates of hospital admittance and suicide attempts than their urban counterparts. METHODS: The authors recruited 74% of eligible participants (n = 470) from a 1992 telephone survey and followed up 95% of subjects for 1 y…
