Features included demographics, medications, diagnoses, and scores from relevant screening tools. We compared the predictive performance of logistic regression and random forest models against existing suicide screening, which was augmented to include the history of previous attempts or ideation. During the study, 16,835 patients had 331,588 visits, with 490 attempts and 37 deaths by suicide. The logistic regression and random forest models (area under the ROC (AUROC) 0.83 [0.80–0.86]; both models) performed better than enhanced screening (AUROC 0.64 [0.61–0.67]). These results suggest that an EHR-based suicide risk model can add value to existing practices at Indian Health Service clinics.","PeriodicalId":74321,"journal":{"name":"Npj mental health research","volume":" ","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44184-024-00088-5.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142439133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluated the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile application designed to address these symptoms in individuals receiving medications for OUD (MOUD). A randomized controlled trial recruited N = 63 adults with OUD who received MOUD and screened positive for moderate depression or generalized anxiety. Participants were randomized to an app-based digital intervention or treatment-as-usual for 4 weeks, and completed follow-ups at 4 and 8 weeks. Primary outcomes were self-reported severity measures for depression and generalized anxiety, and urine drug screens (UDS). Secondary outcomes included self-reported OUD severity, craving intensity, and digital biomarkers derived from passive smartphone sensors. The application was well-received (median app rating = 4/5 stars). The intervention group showed significant reductions in depressive and generalized anxiety symptoms post-intervention and at 8 weeks follow-up (d > 0.70), with large (d = 0.78) and moderate (d = 0.38) effect sizes, respectively, compared to controls. Both groups exhibited substantial decreases in self-reported severity of opioid use symptoms (d > 2.50). UDS suggested similar between-group adherence to MOUD, with a marginal decrease in opioid (MOP) use in the intervention group and increase in controls, yielding medium between group effect sizes (d = 0.44). Passive sensor data suggested significant increases in social connectedness in the intervention group, evidenced by a significant rise in incoming and outgoing calls and text connections. Initial evidence supports the feasibility and acceptability of a digital intervention for treating anxiety and depressive symptoms in persons receiving MOUD. While underpowered to confidently determine statistical significance beyond directionality, the intervention showed promise in reducing depressive and anxiety symptoms, suggesting its potential as a cost-effective and scalable adjunctive therapy alongside standard OUD treatment. Due to the preliminary nature of this pilot study, further research with sample sizes permitting greater statistical power is needed to confirm findings and explore long-term effects.","PeriodicalId":74321,"journal":{"name":"Npj mental health research","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.nature.com/articles/s44184-024-00086-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142329403","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our team is currently engaged in a study evaluating an adapted version of the evidenced-based Parent Connectors program1,2, renamed Family Connectors (FC), for caregivers of young adults recently discharged from the First Episode Psychosis program in New York (OnTrackNY). This paper, written collaboratively with family peer professionals, describes the adaptation process we followed to systematically document the family peer professional experience one year into delivering the FC program to this novel population. Modifications made to improve intervention fit included tailoring the content of the intervention, incorporating an outside approach into the program, lengthening the service in some cases, and adding a weekly peer supervision meeting.

The dichotomous approach showed significant effects of abuse and neglect on all symptoms.
