A Quantitative Systematic Review to Evaluate the Favorability of the DSM -5 Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) on the Acceptability, Feasibility, and Clinical Utility for Clinicians, Patients, and R…
The Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI) is a semi-structured interview in the DSM-5 comprised of three parts: a core-16-item questionnaire, an informant version for relatives or relevant others, and 12 supplementary modules placing culture and context at the center of patient assessment and treatment to clarify diagnosis and treatment and ensure patients feel understood. The paper aims to synthesize the current quantitative evidence on CFI’s fav…

A Comparison of Self-Referral and Referral via Primary Care Providers, through Two Similar Digital Mental Health Services in Western Australia
Digital mental health services (DMHSs) deliver mental health information, assessment, and treatment, via the internet, telephone, or other digital channels. The current study compares two DMHSs operating in Western Australia (WA)-The Practitioner Online Referral System (PORTS) and MindSpot.

A Review and Clinical Practice Guideline for Health Professionals Working With Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (Cald) Populations During Covid-19

Aims: To provide health professionals with a clinical practice guideline for clear and culturally sensitive communication of health information about COVID-19 to people of Indigenous and culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backg…
Psychometric properties and clinical utility of brief measures of depression, anxiety, and general distress
OBJECTIVE: The nine-item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), seven-item Generalized Anxiety Disorder scale (GAD-7), and ten-item Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K-10) are valid and reliable measures of depression, anxiety and general distress. However, the time required in their administration may limit their use in routine care. This study examines the utility of shorter versions (PHQ-2, GAD-2, and K-6) as screening instruments and measu…
Infant homicide in the USA between 1940 and 2005
Riggs and Hobbs have argued that that the recorded increase in the rate of homicide of infants under the age of 1 year in the USA between 1940 and 2005 was due to the increased recognition of fatal child abuse as the cause of death.1 They based their conclusion on a comparison between the rates of accidental death, which fell dramatically, and the steady rise in infant homicide in the same period. However, the fall in the rate of deaths recorded …
Increasing Rates of Psychiatric Publication From Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Objective: The low level of psychiatric research in low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries has been identified as a cause for concern, particularly because the extent of the unmet need for psychiatric treatment in many LAMI countries is not known. The aim of this study was to establish if the worldwide increase in research publication during the last decade included an increase in publication about mental disorders from LAMI countries. Method: W…
