The independent contribution of embedded psychological-services engagement is unclear. This retrospective cohort study used target trial emulation under the ICH E9(R1) estimand framework to evaluate an opt-out embedded psychological-services pathway nested within a manualized social-determinants-of-health-focused care-management program at four Phoenix Federally Qualified Health Centers. Eligible HNHC adults had ≥ 1 inpatient admission or ≥ 2 emergency department visits in the prior 12 months. Each received a scripted opt-out engagement protocol with structured warm-handoff referral where operationally available. Accepted/engaged status was classified as attendance at ≥ 1 behavioral health session within 60 days; the comparator was declined/no-show after the standardized offer. The 60-day composite outcome combined hospital admissions and emergency department visits ascertained from claims linked to a shared electronic health record. Stabilized inverse-probability-of-engagement weighting addressed measured confounders. Sensitivity analyses spanned engagement timing or classification, missing data, unmeasured confounding, propensity-score specification, and clinic-level dependence. Among 1038 adults, 485 (46.7%) were classified as accepted/engaged. Accepted/engaged status was associated with a 33% lower 60-day composite acute-care rate (adjusted incidence-rate ratio [aIRR] 0.665; 95% CI, 0.585-0.757; P < .001). The lower composite rate was driven by ED visits (aIRR 0.619; 95% CI, 0.536-0.715; P < .001). The 60-day admissions component alone was not statistically significant (aIRR 0.891; 95% CI, 0.669-1.188; P = .43).

The E-value (point 2.37; CI-bound 1.97) implies that an unmeasured confounder would need strong association with both engagement and outcome to fully explain the result.

This study aimed to identify barriers and facilitators to engage older Chinese immigrants in the implementation of mental health task-sharing in community-based social services. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in 2023 with 30 frontline providers and administrators from 17 community-based organizations, including older adult centers, social adult day care, and Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities in New York City. Two coders coded transcripts independently and conducted thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti 24, guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Results suggest barriers to engagement included community-level stigma and cultural beliefs, with older Chinese immigrant adults fearing negative social consequences within close-tie communities. Facilitators included building rapport, rephrasing mental health terminology, connecting mental health and physical health, and offering payment assistance. Addressing stigma and cultural beliefs was crucial for engagement in task-sharing implementation.

A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using administrative licensure data from Nevada licensing boards for Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs), Clinical Professional Counselors (CPCs), Alcohol and Drug Counselors (ADCs), and Problem Gambling Counselors (PGCs). Active licenses through December 2025 were linked at the individual level to identify unique providers and patterns of multi-licensure. Descriptive statistics summarized licensure combinations, while chi-square tests and logistic regression examined geographic differences by county type. Among 3259 unique providers, 382 (11.7%) held two or more licenses. The most common multi-licensure combinations were MFT/ADC (n = 189) and CPC/ADC (n = 143). Providers collectively held 3660 licenses, meaning license counts alone would overestimate the workforce by approximately 12.3%. In this Nevada methodological demonstration, summing records across four overlapping credentials produced a higher estimate than linking records at the individual level.

The hybrid model expanded service connections beyond mental health crises for substance use, grief counseling, and housing support. However, differing views on averting involuntary mental health examinations highlighted role conflicts rooted in liability concerns, alongside challenges such as securing consent for virtual consultations and limited partnership interactions.

This study examined mental health service use (i.e., perceived need or utilization) and access barriers among youth with multimorbidity (n = 3307) in comparison to youth with mental or neurodevelopmental disorders only (n = 2391). Data come from the 2019 Canadian Health Survey on Children and Youth (youth aged 5-17 years). Physical health conditions and mental and neurodevelopmental disorders were measured using a standard checklist. Participants were asked about the reasons for youth mental health services, professional consults, and among those who endorsed need/use of services if they had experienced barriers to access. Overall, 66.1% of youth in the sample perceived a need for or used services related to focusing/controlling behaviors, mental health, or learning difficulties; of these, 39.5% experienced barriers to accessing services. Compared to youth with mental or neurodevelopmental disorders only, those with multimorbidity were more likely to perceive need for services for mental health (AOR = 1.29 [1.10, 1.48]), and to consult psychiatrists (AOR = 1.32 [1.14, 1.62]). There was no significant difference in the overall difficulty in accessing services (AOR = 1.11 [0.92, 1.28]); however, youth with multimorbidity were more likely to experience barriers due to service unavailability (AOR = 1.48 [1.09, 2.13]). Findings underscore the importance for health systems to adopt models of care that integrate physical and mental health services, and for policies that eliminate mental health service barriers for youth with multimorbidity.</p>","PeriodicalId":49040,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Behavioral Health Services & Research","volume":" ","pages":"651-663"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148200852","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
