Pediatric primary care psychologists' reported level of integration, billing practices, and reimbursement frequency.
The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between psychologists' reported billing practices, reimbursement rates, and model of integration in pediatric primary care. Survey results showed a clear pattern of higher integration being associated with greater utilization of health & behavior codes and better reimbursement for consultation activities.

Physician intervention to positive depression screens among adolescents in primary care.
The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of computer-based screening and physician feedback to guide adolescent depression management within primary care. The investigators found that when a computer-based decision support system algorithm focused on adolescent depression and was implemented in two primary care clinics, a majority of physicians utilized screening results to guide clinical care.

Suicide screening in primary care: use of an electronic screener to assess suicidality and improve provider follow-up for adolescents.
The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using an existing computer decision support system to screen adolescent patients for suicidality and provide follow-up guidance to clinicians in a primary care setting. The authors concluded that incorporating adolescent suicide screening and provider follow-up guidance into an existing computer decision support system in primary care was feasible and well utilized by providers.

Identifying moderators of response to the Penn Resiliency Program: a synthesis study.
Researchers sought to identify moderators of a cognitive-behavioral depression prevention program's effect on depressive symptoms among youth in early adolescence. Data from three randomized controlled trials of the Penn Resiliency Program (PRP) were aggregated to maximize statistical power and sample diversity. The primary analyses suggested that PRP's effects are limited to youth whose parents are unmarried.

Mental health service utilization is associated with retention in care among persons living with HIV at a university-affiliated HIV clinic.
The researchers sought to determine if mental health (MH) service utilization would be associated with improved retention in care for patients with HIV and MH comorbidities. They concluded that even in the absence of documented MH comorbidities, improved retention in care was observed with increasing MH service utilization.

Proxy and patient reports of health-related quality of life in a national cancer survey.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the difference between patient and proxy reports of patient HRQOL in a large national cancer survey, and determine if this difference could be mitigated by adjusting for clinical and sociodemographic information about patients. It concluded that the proxy-reported outcome scores for both physical and mental health were clinically and significantly lower than patient-reported scores for these outcomes.

Variation in the 12-month treatment trajectories of children and adolescents after a diagnosis of depression.
The purpose of this longitudinal cohort study was to characterize heterogeneity in 12-month trajectories of psychotherapy and antidepressant treatment in youths with depression. The investigators examined variation in baseline health, health care utilization, and health outcomes across classes with similar patterns of psychotherapy and antidepressant use.

Sleep disturbance may impact treatment outcome in bipolar disorder: a preliminary investigation in the context of a large comparative effectiveness trial.
The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential impact of poor sleep at baseline on outcomes in a randomized effectiveness trial of quetiapine and lithium. Sixty-three percent of patients had baseline sleep disturbance. Individuals with sleep disturbance had worse bipolar illness severity, greater severity of depression, mania, anxiety, irritability, and psychosis, were less likely to have sustained response, and had more necessary clinical adjustments.
