Association of primary and behavioral health integrated care upon pediatric mental disorder treatment.
This study’s objective was to examine whether linkage with mental health (MH) treatment differed across 3 different integrated care agreements (ICAs) following diagnosis for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) or Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) given by primary care providers (PCPs) in the pediatric setting. The ICAs were categorized as PCPs who practiced alone (non-co-located); PCPs practiced with specialist outside the practice but co-located at the practice site; and employed specialists who were co-located. A total of 4203 incident ADHD and 298 incident MDD diagnoses were identified, of which 74% of ADHD cases and 67% of MDD cases received treatment within 90 days of diagnosis. Children with ADHD were twice as likely to receive treatment if they were diagnosed by non-co-located or co-affiliated PCPs than those diagnosed by non-co-located PCPs. Those treated children were also 2 times more likely to receive guideline recommended psychotherapy and treated at the diagnosing site versus elsewhere.

Youth cognitive-behavioral depression prevention: testing theory in a randomized controlled trial.
This study tested the plausibility of a theoretical model of change for the Penn Resiliency Program (PRP), a cognitive-behavioral (CB) depression prevention program for adolescents. The authors assert that when effective, PRP's CB training provides incremental value over non-specific components and there are indirect effects on depressive symptoms through improvements in explanatory style.

A systematic review of the association between depression and health care utilization in children and adults with sickle cell disease.
The authors sought to determine whether depression or depressive symptoms are associated with health care utilization among children and adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). They found that, overall, depressive symptoms are common in SCD and may increase risk for poor outcomes including health care utilization. They further found a modest association between depression and health care utilization in SCD.
