These youngsters require care in which the expertise of different professionals and organizations is integrated. However, combining various types of expertise to provide integrated care to youth at-risk is challenging. Therefore, this qualitative study aims to describe how stakeholders approach these challenges when combining different types of expertise to provide integrated care for youth at-risk. In total, 28 in-depth interviews were conducted with stakeholders working in various organizations or municipalities for youth at-risk in The Netherlands. Transcripts were analyzed through reflexive thematic analysis. Reflections from a youth representative were also incorporated. Results reveal challenges at four levels: youth and family, professional, organization, and system. At each level, challenges arise in addressing the exceptional needs and problems of youth at-risk, collaborating with multiple stakeholders, reluctance to apply or involve expertise, and finding sufficient resources to combine expertise. Professionals, organizations, and municipalities approach these challenges with a backward or forward approach: either they accept the situation, focus on their own expertise, leave responsibility to others; or they force their expertise on others, or seek collaboration to combine expertise. Overall, combining different types of expertise to provide integrated care to youth at-risk can be seen as an expertise in itself, and necessitates reflection, awareness, and careful consideration from all stakeholders.</p>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143021777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Individual Placement and Support (IPS), an evidence-based practice designed to help individuals with mental health conditions achieve and maintain employment, has notably bridged this gap. Unlike many interventions that struggle with widespread implementation, IPS has successfully scaled to over 2,000 programs across all U.S. states and 30 other countries. This paper examines the strategies that have facilitated the rapid and extensive adoption of IPS, offering insights into best practices for integrating randomized controlled trial (RCT) findings into everyday clinical settings. Key factors contributing to the success of IPS include conducting RCTs in settings with real-world patients and clinicians, fostering collaboration through the International IPS Learning Community, developing comprehensive implementation materials and a dynamic fidelity scale, and engaging in regular, systematic meetings with stakeholders such as providers, advocates, and policymakers. These approaches have ensured that IPS remains adaptable, responsive to patient needs, and maintains fidelity to its core principles while promoting continuous improvement. The experience with IPS underscores the importance of integrating real-world evidence with clinical practice through ongoing collaboration among all stakeholders. The principles underpinning IPS-real-world application, stakeholder engagement, and adaptability-provide a model that could guide future efforts to close the research-to-practice gap across diverse healthcare settings and interventions.</p>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142724461","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Insufficient resources (e.g., staff and physical infrastructure), and a culture that favored long-term therapy were barriers. Navigating age of consent, and implementation around COVID-19 were barriers within the outer setting. Facilitators within the implementation process domain included: (1) interconnected teams across sites, regions and the province; (2) collaborative implementation planning; (3) flexibility to tailor implementation at sites; and (4) mentorship provided by champions. Insufficient standardization of the implementation and limited representation among affected parties (e.g., community partners) were barriers within the implementation process.

Culturally tailored and scalable engagement models to improve mental health treatment retention among REM youth with depressive symptoms and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STB) are urgently needed. Strategic Treatment Assessment for Youth (STAY) is a theoretically-driven, culturally tailored measurement-based care (MBC) approach to treatment engagement for REM youth with depressive symptoms and suicide risk. Specifically, STAY uses MBC feedback processes to reduce perceptual barriers to treatment, thus improving treatment retention and ultimately, client outcomes among REM youth. In addition to standard MBC components, STAY includes a greater emphasis on providing a client-centered rationale for MBC which includes assessing and discussing treatment expectations, the use of individualized progress measures and alliance measures, and cultural competence training. The goal of this manuscript is to describe the STAY model based on initial theoretical development and preliminary clinician-informed refinements. Further, a case example of STAY is presented with a particular focus on the use of feedback processes. Finally, the current and future directions to empirically examine STAY as a treatment retention strategy with REM populations are provided.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7195,"journal":{"name":"Administration and Policy in Mental Health and Mental Health Services Research","volume":"52 1","pages":"261 - 276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142611963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a large cohort of Veterans (N = 12,514) who sought treatment in the Veterans Health Administration during Fiscal Years 2015-2019, logistic regression models were used to assess the odds of initiating an additional course of trauma-focused (i.e., PE or CPT) or depression-focused psychotherapy in the year following completion of PE or CPT based on demographic, psychiatric, and treatment effectiveness-related variables. Approximately 9% of Veterans engaged in either trauma-(6%) or depression-(3%) related psychotherapy in the year following discharge from PE or CPT.

However, known difficulties with measuring EBP use complicates interpretation of the extant literature. In this proof-of-concept study, we examined whether the same predictors of use of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) are identified when CBT use is measured with clinician self-report compared to direct observation. We examined four candidate predictors of CBT use - clinician participation in an EBP training initiative, years of experience, caseload, and employment status - in a sample of 36 clinicians (64% female; 72% White and 28% Black) from 19 community mental health agencies treating youth in greater Philadelphia. CBT use was captured for 100 unique client sessions (M = 2.8 recorded sessions per clinician) through both clinician self-report and direct observation, using parallel measures. We used three-level (client, clinician, and agency) regression models with random intercepts to estimate the relationship between each predictor variable and CBT use in both measures and compared the magnitude and direction of each model across self-report and direct observation using z-tests. There was no alignment for any of the four candidate predictors between predictive relationships identified by self-report compared to those identified by direct observation. The findings in this study extend literature documenting limitations of using clinician self-report to capture clinician behavior and suggest that even the characteristics that predict higher self-reported CBT use do not align with (and often are discordant with) those that predict directly observed CBT use.
