Trajectories of suicidal ideation over 6 months among 482 outpatients with bipolar disorder.
The researchers aimed to investigate 6-months trajectories of suicidal ideation among adults with bipolar disorder. Using data from the Bipolar CHOICE study, they identified four distinct trajectories and found that more than one in ten adult outpatients with bipolar disorder had moderately increased suicidal ideation throughout 6 months of pharmacotherapy. They recommended that the identified predictors may help clinicians to identify those with additional need for treatment against suicidal thoughts, and future studies need to investigate whether targeted treatment may improve the course of persistent suicidal ideation.

Parent burden in accessing outpatient psychiatric services for adolescent depression in a large state system.
This study examined barriers facing parents who seek outpatient psychiatric care in a large state system for adolescents with depression. It found that virtually all clinics required at least one intake or therapy appointment before receipt of a psychiatry appointment. Parental burden did not differ by region, urbanicity, clinic type, seasonality (spring or summer), or insurance status.

Collaborative care for depression symptoms in an outpatient cardiology setting: a randomized clinical trial.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether collaborative care (CC) for patients who screen positive for depression during an outpatient cardiology visit results in greater improvement in depression symptoms and better medical outcomes than seen in patients who screen positive for depression but receive only usual care (UC). Tthis trial did not show that CC produces better depression outcomes than UC.

Implementing a measurement feedback system: a tale of two sites.
A randomized experiment was conducted in two outpatient clinics evaluating contextualized feedback systems. Only one of the two participating clinics had an enhanced outcome because of feedback. Clinicians' questionnaire completion rate and feedback viewing were 50 % higher at this clinic. The discussion focused on the differences in implementation at each site and how these differences may have contributed to the different outcomes of the experiment.
