Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia
Identifying Age Based Maturation in the ERP Response to Faces in Children With Autism: Implications for Developing Biomarkers for Use in Clinical Trials
Recent proposals have suggested the potential for neural biomarkers to improve clinical trial processes in neurodevelopmental conditions; however, few efforts have identified whether chronological age-based adjustments will be necessary (as used in standardized behavioral assessments). Event-related potentials (ERPs) demonstrate early differences in the processing of faces vs. objects in the visual processing system by 4 years of age and age-base…
Racial differences in the psychosocial response to the Covid-19 pandemic in veterans with psychosis or recent homelessness
006. There were no significant differences by race in social integration, work/role productivity, or independent living. In sum, there were few significant differences between Black and White veterans in initial psychosocial response to the pandemic. The lack of racial disparities might reflect the presence of VA's wrap-around services. The findings also highlight the robust nature of social support in Black veterans, even in the context of a glo…
Motivational and cognitive correlates of community integration in homeless veterans entering a permanent supported housing program
Homelessness is a major public health problem, and serious mental illness (SMI) is highly prevalent in the homeless population. Although supported housing services-which provide permanent housing in the community along with case management-improve housing outcomes, community integration typically remains poor, and little is known about the underlying determinants of poor community integration postresidential placement. The general SMI literature …
High Quality of Care Persists With Shifting Depression Services From VA Specialty to Integrated Primary Care
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Offering depression collaborative care services in primary care (PC) settings can reduce use of nonintegrated mental health care resources and improve mental health care access, particularly for vulnerable PC patients. Tests of effects on depression care quality, however, are needed. We examined overall quality of depression care and tested whether increasing clinic engagement in Veterans Affairs (VA)'s Primary Care-Mental H…
Discrete State Analysis for Interpretation of Data From Clinical Trials
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to demonstrate a multivariate health state approach to analyzing complex disease data that allows projection of long-term outcomes using clustering, Markov modeling, and preference weights. SUBJECTS: We studied patients hospitalized 30 to 364 days with refractory schizophrenia at 15 Veterans Affairs medical centers. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a randomized clinical trial comparing clozapine, an atypical a…
Estimation of Utilities for the Effects of Depression From the SF-12
BACKGROUND: Utilities for health conditions, including major depressive disorder, have a theoretical relationship to health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Because of the complexity of utility measurement and the existence of large numbers of completed studies with HRQOL data but not utility data, it would be desirable to be able to estimate utilities from measurements of HRQOL. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to estimate utility for …
