Using Mixed Methods to Examine the Role of Veterans’ Illness Perceptions on Depression Treatment Utilization and Hedis Concordance
BACKGROUND: Although depression screening occurs annually in the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) primary care, many veterans may not be receiving guideline-concordant depression treatment. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether veterans' illness perceptions of depression may be serving as barriers to guideline-concordant treatment. RESEARCH DESIGN: We used a prospective, observational design involving a mailed questionnaire and chart review data co…
Mental and Physical Health Status and Alcohol and Drug Use Following Return From Deployment to Iraq or Afghanistan
Objectives. We examined (1) mental and physical health symptoms and functioning in US veterans within 1 year of returning from deployment, and (2) differences by gender, service component (Active, National Guard, other Reserve), service branch (Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines), and deployment operation (Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom [OEF/OIF]). Methods. We surveyed a national sample of 596 OEF/OIF veterans, oversampling women …
An Illness Perception Model of Primary Care Patients' Help Seeking for Depression
Many people with depression recognize their symptoms as depression, but fail to seek treatment for a number of years. We aimed to explore the reasons for this. Thirty primary care patients who screened positive for depression participated in semistructured, face-to-face interviews. Transcripts were analyzed using grounded thematic analysis. Patients who sought depression treatment emphasized their understanding of depression, their belief that tr…

Predisposing Characteristics, Enabling Resources and Need as Predictors of Utilization and Clinical Outcomes for Veterans Receiving Mental Health Services
BACKGROUND: Though demand for mental health services (MHS) among US veterans is increasing, MHS utilization per veteran is decreasing. With health and social service needs competing for limited resources, it is important to understand the association between patient factors, MHS utilization, and clinical outcomes. OBJECTIVES: We use a framework based on Andersen's behavioral model of health service utilization to examine predisposing characterist…
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…

Translation And Cultural Adaptation Of A Mental Health Outcome Measure
Development and Validation of a Psychiatric Case-Mix System
BACKGROUND: Although difficulties in applying risk-adjustment measures to mental health populations are increasingly evident, a model designed specifically for patients with psychiatric disorders has never been developed. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to develop and validate a case-mix classification system, the "PsyCMS," for predicting concurrent and future mental health (MH) and substance abuse (SA) healthcare costs and utilization. SUBJECTS: Su…
The Revised Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale (Basis-R)
BACKGROUND: To assess outcomes of health services, providers need brief, responsive, reliable, and valid measures that can be implemented in clinical settings with minimal cost and burden. The Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale (BASIS-32) is a self-report measure developed in 1984 to assess mental health treatment outcomes. During the past 3 years, multiple methods were used to revise the instrument to improve reliability, validity, and ap…
Assessment of Subjective Distress by Patients' Self-Report versus Structured Interview
Comparison was made of symptom and behavior scores obtained by structured interview versus self-report using the Behavior and Symptom Identification Scale. Psychiatric hospital admissions were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 assessment groups, structured interview, self-report, or choice of procedure. Analysis indicated that patients in the self-report group reported significantly greater difficulty on 1 of 5 dimensions assessed by the scale. The res…
Alcohol, Drugs, and Psychiatric Disorders
This study investigated the type, frequency, and chronicity of alcohol and drug use, impact of such use on functioning, and concomitant psychiatric diagnoses, symptomatology, and behavioral problems among adolescent psychiatric inpatients. The sample consisted of 29 males and 19 females under 20 years of age consecutively admitted to a psychiatric hospitaL Self-report and clinical measures were used to assess substance use and other psychiatric s…
Changing Psychopathology in Female Adolescent Inpatients
This study raises the question of whether sociodemographic factors or manifestations of psychopathology among hospitalized female adolescents (ages 15-19) changed from 1973 to 1983. Two samples of 50 patients each were selected from among psychiatric hospital admissions in 1973 and 1983. Demographic data, psychiatric histories of both patient and family, information about the family constellation and patients' clinical profiles at admission were …

Clients' Rehabilitation Goals and Outcome
This study assessed (1) the relationship between clients' individual goals and outcome of a rehabilitation treatment program, and (2) improvement in particular areas of functioning irrespective of clients' intentions to work on a goal. Subjects were 49 psychiatric inpatients. Clients identified their goals and assessed their own functioning in 11 areas before beginning the treatment program and again upon termination. Rehabilitation counselors pr…

Achievements of male and female storybook characters as determinants of achievement behavior by boys and girls
The effects of achievement behavior by male and female storybook models on children's own achievement behavior was assessed. Preschoolers heard either a stereotype story depicting achievement behavior by a male, but not by a female, a reversal story depicting achievement behavior by a female, but not by a male, or a control story depicting no achievement behavior by any character. As predicted, a significant Sex X Storybook interaction effect was…
