A randomized controlled trial in community mental health centers of computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy versus treatment as usual for children with anxiety.
This study aimed to examine the real-world effectiveness of a computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) protocol relative to treatment as usual (TAU) among anxious children presenting at community mental health centers. It found that relative to TAU, computer-assisted CBT was associated with greater reductions in parent-rated child impairment and internalizing symptoms, but not child-rated impairment and anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Connect for Health: Design of a clinical-community childhood obesity intervention testing best practices of positive outliers.
The Connect for Health study is designed to assess whether a novel approach to care delivery that leverages clinical and community resources and addresses socio-contextual factors will improve body mass index and family-centered, obesity-related outcomes of interest to parents and children. The intervention is informed by clinical, community, parent, and youth stakeholders and incorporates successful strategies and best practices learned from 'positive outlier' families.

Patient-reported outcomes in a large community-based pain medicine practice: evaluation for use in phenotype modeling.
The researchers aimed to build a phenotype-to-outcome model targeting chronic pain to be used to drive clinical decision support for pain medicine in the community setting. Exploratory factor analysis of the intake Pain Health Assessment revealed 15 orthogonal factors representing pain levels; physical, social, and emotional functions; the effects of pain on these functions; vitality and health; and measures of outcomes and satisfaction.

Colorectal cancer screening rates at community health centers that use electronic health records: a cross sectional study.
This study sought to validate use of electronic health record (EHR) data for measuring colorectal cancer (CRC) screening rates at community health centers (CHCs). It found that at participating CHCs, CRC screening rates ranged from 9.7 percent to 67.2 percent and adherence to annual fecal occult blood tests ranged from 3.3 percent to 59.0 percent. Most screening was done by colonoscopy.

Consumers' and providers' perceptions of utilizing a computer-assisted cognitive behavioral therapy for childhood anxiety.
The purpose of this study was to explore consumers’ and providers’ perceptions of utilizing a Computer-Assisted Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CCBT) for childhood anxiety in community mental health centers (CMHC) in an effort to identify factors that may impact implementation of CCBT in CMHC. Results suggest that both consumers and providers were highly receptive to participation in and implementation of CCBT in CMHC.
