Community patterns of posttraumatic stress disorders.

James H. Shore; William M. Vollmer; Ellie L. Tatum

This paper reports lifetime rates for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in two rural northwest communities. One community was affected by a major natural disaster, the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. Following an epidemiology study of this disaster, communitywide patterns of PTSD were identified. Disaster-related, combat, sexual assault, and all other types of PTSD are presented for men and women. Symptom patterns from these distinct PTSD stressors are compared along with concurrent psychiatric disorders. The findings are discussed with other studies that use a broader definition of disaster stress response syndromes. This comparison identifies a limitation of PTSD diagnostic criteria that may significantly underestimate community rates.

This study employed data from two Congressionally mandated efforts (the American Indian Vietnam Veterans Project and the National Vietnam Veterans Readjustment Study) to examine differential prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among 5 ethnically defined samples of male Vietnam theater veterans. Lay interviews assessed individual experiences before, during, and after the war from 1,798 male Vietnam theater veterans. Clinical reinterviews using the SCID were conducted with subsamples (N = 487). The prevalence of both 1-month and lifetime PTSD was higher for the 2 American Indian samples than for Whites. Once logistic regressions controlled for differential exposure to war-zone stress, ethnicity was no longer a significant predictor of PTSD.

This 1988 study reports the point and lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders, using DSM-III-R criteria, of a sample (approximately 25%) of adult members of an Indian village previously studied in 1969. The basic instrument was the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia, augmented by available medical information and administered by experienced psychiatrists. Subjects were interviewed and results were weighed for the age- and sexdistributed population. The results indicated a high point prevalence of alcohol dependence (32.8%), with a lifetime prevalence of 72.8%, among males. The lifetime prevalence of affective disorders among women was also high (36.8%), but less so among men (19.3%). When compared with the DSM-III-R diagnoses of the 1969 study, the point prevalence rates of alcohol dependence and abuse disorders fell from 39% to 21%. Also, fewer subjects were judged to be psychiatrically impaired. Even though the prevalence of psychiatric disorders was lower in the current study, the rates for alcohol disorders and affective disorders were still far higher than those reported in Epidemiologic Catchment Area studies. Alcohol dependence (especially among young men) and affective disorder (among women) were major problems.

BackgroundSevere mental illness (SMI) has been associated with more medical co-morbidity and less cardiovascular procedure use for older patients with myocardial infarction. However, it is unknown whether SMI is associated with increased long term mortality risk among patients presenting with acute coronary syndromes (ACS). We tested the hypothesis that SMI is associated with higher one-year mortality following ACS hospitalization.MethodsAll ACS patients (n = 14,194) presenting to Veterans Health Administration (VHA) hospitals between October 2003 and September 2005 were included. Survival analysis evaluated the association between SMI and one-year all-cause mortality, adjusting for demographics, co-morbidities, in-hospital treatment, and discharge medications.ResultsOverall, 18.4 % of ACS patients had SMI. Patients with SMI were more likely female, younger, Caucasian race, have a history of alcohol abuse, liver disease, dementia, hypertension and more likely to be a current smoker; however, prior cardiac history was similar between the 2 groups. There were no significant differences in cardiac procedure use, including coronary angiogram (38.7% vs. 40.3%, p = 0.14) or coronary revascularization (31.0% vs. 32.3%, p = 0.19), and discharge medications between those with and without SMI. One-year mortality was lower for patients with SMI (15.8% vs. 19.1%, p < 0.001). However, in multivariable analysis, there were no significant differences in mortality (HR 0.91; 95% CI 0.81–1.02) between patients with and without SMI.ConclusionAmong ACS patients in the VHA, SMI is prevalent, affecting almost 1 in 5 patients. However, patients with SMI were as likely to undergo coronary revascularization and be prescribed evidence-based medications at hospital discharge, and were not at elevated risk of adverse 1-year outcomes compared to patients without SMI.

Substance Abuse Treatment of American Indian Adolescents: Comorbid Symptomatology, Gender Differences, and Treatment Patterns

Douglas K. Novins; Janette Beals; James H. Shore; Spero M. Manson

OBJECTIVE To describe the patient population and use of mental health treatment at a residential substance abuse treatment program for American Indian and Alaska Native adolescents. Specifically, this article (1) reports the level of psychiatric symptomatology among the patient population; (2) compares male and female patients in terms of demographics, symptomatology, and receipt of mental health treatment; and (3) examines the degree of association between patient psychiatric symptomatology and the receipt of mental health treatment. METHOD Medical records were reviewed for all 64 patients admitted over a 1-year period. Data included patient characteristics such as substance use and psychiatric symptomatology as well as the receipt of mental health treatment. RESULTS Sixty-eight percent of patients screened positive for at least one psychiatric symptom type. Females reported greater substance use and were more likely to report that they were victims of abuse. Females also were more likely than males to receive mental health treatment even though males had at least equal need. Finally, there was no significant relationship between measures of psychopathology and subsequent receipt of mental health treatment. CONCLUSIONS Reassessment of the methods for identifying and treating patients with comorbid psychopathology within programs of this nature is indicated.

American Indian Psychiatric and Social Problems

James H. Shore; Spero M. Manson

This paper is an overview of the past 15 years of research on American Indian psychiatric and social problems. Since the development of the first mental health program in the Indian Health Service (IHS) in 1967, there has been a significant increase in published articles on this topic. The number of relevant citations has doubled each decade, rising from 48 in the 1930s to 759 in the 1970s (Kelso and Attneave 1981). More important, in the past decade we have witnessed greater participation by American Indian scholars who have contributed significantly to the field with papers which put increased emphasis

Growing evidence suggests that neuropsychological assessment via videoconference shows good agreement with traditional in-person assessment. However, there are few published studies regarding patient acceptability of this methodology, particularly in individuals with cognitive impairment. In this study we sought to evaluate patient preferences and acceptability of teleneuropsychology to further shed light on the viability of this cognitive assessment medium. We examined acceptability of videoconference-based neuropsychological assessment among healthy aging individuals and in subjects with mild cognitive impairment or early stage Alzheimer disease. We found that teleneuropsychology appears to be well accepted by consumers. Our results reflected 98% satisfaction, and roughly two-thirds of participants indicated no preference between traditional face-to-face testing and examination by teleneuropsychology. Furthermore, even participants with cognitive impairment showed good acceptability of teleneuropsychological assessment. In conjunction with the preliminary data on reliability and validity from this growing literature, these results support teleneuropsychology as a viable and acceptable method for assessing cognitive functioning, and show promise for the implementation and utilization of this cognitive assessment medium in clinical and research settings.

The natural history of medical and psychiatric disorders in an American Indian community

James K. Boehnlein; J. David Kinzei; Paul K. Leung; Don Matsunaga; Robert A. Johnson; James H. Shore

In 1969, a Pacific Northwest American Indian community cohort (n=100) was interviewed for the presence of physical and psychiatric illnesses. The same community was studied again in 1988. This study describes the outcome among the original 100 subjects. The schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia Lifetime Version (SADS-L) served as the basic interview instrument, supplemented by data from medical records, death certificates, and medical and community informants. Twenty-five subjects had died, 13 from cardiovascular disorders and seven from alcohol-related illnesses. Among the 46 subjects re-interviewed, hypertension, heart disease, and diabetes had become significant sources of medical morbidity. Alcoholism was the most significant cause of psychiatric morbidity, particularly among males. This study indicates that greater attention should be focused upon prevention and treatment of alcoholism, cardiovascular disorders, and diabetes in this community and in other American Indian populations.

Academic, community and state mental health program collaboration: The Oregon experience

Larry R. Faulkner; Bloom Jd; David L. Cutler; James H. Shore; Bray Jd; Murray J

The authors review the relationship that has evolved over the years between the Department of Psychiatry at Oregon Health Sciences University and Oregons community and state mental health programs. They describe the compatibility that exists between the basic requirements of academic psychiatry departments and public mental health programs and demonstrate how these organizations have been able to fulfill one anothers needs in Oregon. Specific examples of successful collaborations in the areas of education, administration, research, and service are presented to illustrate how relationships that have been designed to meet specific requirements of one organization can fulfill many requirements of both. Suggestions are provided for those organizations contemplating similar collaborative endeavors.

A Comprehensive Psychiatric Formulation Model

Larry R. Faulkner; J. David Kinzie; Richard H. Angell; Richard C. U’Ren; James H. Shore

It is generally accepted that psychiatric formulations ought to be part of a thorough patient evaluation. What should be included in a formulation and how it should be done, however, are less clear. The authors examine several reasons for the lack of consensus about formulations and suggest a basic definition of a psychiatric formulation. Based on underlying principles, they present a twelve component comprehensive psychiatric formulation model, illustrate its use with a case example, and discusss its clinical and educational implications.
