A systematic review of external validity in pediatric integrated primary care trials.
This study used the RE-AIM (Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance) framework to conduct a systematic review of external validity reporting in integrated primary care (IPC) interventions for mental health concerns. A literature search was conducted to identify relevant literature from 1998 to 2018 reporting on open, randomized or quasi-randomized trials of IPC interventions that targeted child (ages 0-18 years) psychological symptoms. The authors included 39 publications describing 25 studies in the review. Publications rarely reported indicators of external validity, including the representatives of participants (12%), rate of adoption clinics or providers (16%), cost of implementation (8%), or evidence of maintenance (16%). Few studies also included key pragmatic factors such as cost or organizational change processes related to implementation and maintenance.

Who is willing to participate in research? A screening model for an anxiety and depression trial in the epilepsy clinic.
This study assessed the willingness of epilepsy patients positively screened for anxiety and/or depression to participate in a research study. A total of 199 patients screened positively during a routine epilepsy screening visit and 154 (77.4%) opted-in for further research assessment. Nearly half of those 199 individuals were already being treated for anxiety and/or depression, with 46.7% receiving neither antidepressants or therapy. Higher depression scores and current treatment were independently associated with opting in. One-quarter reported a past psychiatric hospitalization, but only half of those individuals were currently receiving mental health specialty care.

N-of-1 randomized intervention trials in health psychology: a systematic review and methodology critique.
The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of the methods and statistics, to describe interventions and outcomes, and to explore the heterogeneity of treatment effect of health psychology N-of-1, or single-case randomized clinical trials. Researchers conducted a systematic review of N-of-1 trials by searching numerous databases from their respective inception up to June 2015; studies were included if they had health behavior or psychological outcomes and the order of interventions was randomized. Study characteristics and analytic methods were then abstracted. The results of the study indicate that N-of-1 randomized trials could become the next major advance in health psychology for precision therapeutics, but they must be conducted with more methodologic and statistical rigor as well as be transparently and fully reported.
