Antipsychotic and mood stabilizer receipt for Veterans Affairs patients with PTSD: A national investigation
VHA patients with PTSD who have psychiatric comorbidity and receive multiple psychiatric medications were more likely to receive guideline-nonconcordant mood stabilizers and antipsychotics. Additional work is needed to better understand the impact of these prescribing practices to help providers balance the risks and benefits of these medication combinations.

Peer‐based interventions targeting suicide prevention: A scoping review
Peers of individuals at risk for suicide may be able to play important roles in suicide prevention. The aim of the current study is to conduct a scoping review to characterize the breadth of peer-delivered suicide prevention services and their outcomes to inform future service delivery and research. Articles were selected based on search terms related to peers, suicide, or crisis. After reviews of identified abstracts (N = 2681), selected full-te…
The Prevalence and Incidence of Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in the Veterans Health Administration From 2009 to 2016
BACKGROUND: The prevalence and incidence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have increased substantially among children and adolescents over the past decade; however, little is known regarding trends in adult populations. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore trends in the prevalence, incidence, and correlates of adult ADHD in a national sample of veterans receiving care at Veteran Affairs (VA) hospitals and clinic…
Developing Telemental Health Partnerships Between State Medical Schools and Federally Qualified Health Centers: Navigating the Regulatory Landscape and Policy Recommendations
BACKGROUND: Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) deliver care to 26 million Americans living in underserved areas, but few offer telemental health (TMH) services. The social missions of FQHCs and publicly funded state medical schools create a compelling argument for the development of TMH partnerships. In this paper, we share our experience and recommendations from launching TMH partnerships between 12 rural FQHCs and 3 state medical school…

Trends in Antidepressant Prescribing for New Episodes of Depression and Implications for Health System Quality Measures
BACKGROUND: The nationally reported Healthcare Effectiveness Data and Information Set (HEDIS) antidepressant medication management measure assesses whether patients with new episodes of depression receive antidepressant coverage for 84 of the first 114 days of treatment. Although initial prescriptions for a 90-day supply satisfy measure requirements, they may circumvent its purpose of ensuring adequate medication management. OBJECTIVES: To assess…

Few studies have assessed the effect of collaborative mental health treatment programs on diagnosis of mental disorders in primary care populations. In 2008, many Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) facilities implemented collaborative care programs, as part of the VA's Primary Care-M…
