CMHS Grant
Primary Care/Specialty Mental Health Care for the
Elderly
This project will examine whether an
integrated primary care and a mental health services program
yields superior outcomes for older Chinese American patients
(ages 55 and over), when compared to “usual care” in which
primary care clinicians screen and refer patients with Mental
health and substance abuse problems to outside specialty
services. |

EAC,
Inc., will initiate a court-based diversion project for
persons with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse
problems living in New York City. They will put together a
consensus panel of stakeholders involved in court processing
and care of these dually diagnosed individuals in jails,
courts, and community residential and outpatient
facilities. |

CSAT Welfare to Work Grant
As part of
the multi-site study, the Montefiore Medical Center will draw
clients from the Montefiore/Albert Einstein College of
Medicine’s tow divisions of integrated methadone treatment and
primary care. Clients are predominantly Hispanic/Latino and
African American heroin users. The two studies that interlink
are the Multiple Diagnoses Subgroup Study and the Intervention
Study with persons with Borderline Personality
Disorders. |

NIDA
Project Effectiveness of Self Help for the Dually Diagnosed
Persons dually-diagnoses with substance abuse and mental
illness have needs for long-term support that have been
difficult to meet through the substance abuse and mental
health treatment systems, or through traditional, single
purpose mutual-aid groups. Double Trouble in Recovery (DTR) is
a new and growing 12-step-help model that is designed to meet
the special needs of dually diagnosed persons during their
long-term recovery process. Preliminary data indicate that the
DTR movement is succeeding in forming peer support groups, in
engaging the dually diagnosed in such groups, and in training
peer leaders to disseminate the model. DTR complements formal
treatment by mobilizing peer support for recovery, and serves
as long-term aftercare/continuing care following intensive
short-term substance abuse or mental health treatment,
including encouraging psychiatric medication compliance, which
helps prevent rehospitalization for these reasons dual
recovery models are receiving considerable attention from
behavioral managed care providers.

Project Service Needs in Early Psychosis & Drug Use
This revised application proposes to study the onset, early
course, and patterns of service use of men and women seeking
crisis treatment for an episode of DSM-IV psychotic disorder
accompanied by drug use. it is designed to distinguish between
substance-induced psychosis and primary psychosis the
co-occurs with drug use. The diagnostic distinction between a
substance-induced psychosis and a primary psychosis that
co-occurs with drug use is of critical importance in planning
for appropriate treatment. Greater knowledge of early
psychosis and drug use in relation to illness course and
treatment outcome can lead to more effective assessment
procedures, more appropriate matches to treatment for
substance abuse, and uncover unmet needs for services.

NIDA
Project Course of Drug Use Disorders - Effects of Comorbidity
Understanding the factors that impact on drug abuse treatment
is important in designing effective treatment strategies and
treatment programs for drug abusers. The effects of concurrent
and comorbid mental disorders (particularly alcoholism, major
depression and antisocial personality disorder) have been
previously studied, but many questions remain unanswered. A
longitudinal study is proposed of 936 patients (50% female)
with cocaine, heroin and/or alcohol use disorders treated in
drug, alcohol and psychiatric facilities. The proposal
includes a plan to develop comparisons of the effects of
diagnostically specific and global (ASI) psychiatric severity
on outcome. More accurate identification of short- and
long-range predictors of change in substance abuse status
(remission and relapse) would provide information applicable
to the design of better treatment strategies for drug abusers.

Project PRISM - Comorbidity Diagnosis for Drug Abuse Treatment
Psychiatric comorbidity, particularly depression, occurs often
in substance abusers, and is associated with poor outcome.
However, previous diagnostic instruments have been unreliable,
controversy has surrounded the concepts of comorbidity
diagnosis, and results of treatment studies have been
inconsistent. In particular, questions persist on whether a
treatment-responsive depressive disorder exists in
non-abstinent substance abusers. We have developed the
DSM-III-R Psychiatric Research Interview for Substance and
Mental Disorders (PRISM),
which showed very good test-retest reliability for primary
major depression and other DSM-III-R mental disorders in
substance abuse and psychiatric patients. We propose a study
in 150 methadone maintenance and dual diagnosis psychiatric
patients. The study results will provide empirical evidence
that is likely to be useful in formulating DSM-V.

NIDA Project Drug Coping Skills
Assessment of Dual Diagnosis Patient
This 2X2 factorial study (Factor 1: presence/absence of
Schizophrenia, Factor 2: presence/absence of Cannabis or
Cocaine disorder) will evaluate coping skills in a
drug-related and general social situations in a: DD group
(N=40), a Schizophrenia-only group (N=40), a Substance–abuse
only group (N=40), and a Community group with no Axis I
diagnosis (N=40). In Session 1, information will be obtained
regarding diagnosis, psychiatric history and substance abuse.
Session 2 will consist of the coping skills assessment. The
short-term goal is to increase our understanding of how DD
individuals cope with drug-related situations. The long-term
goal is to develop effective coping skills interventions that
will reduce both the personal suffering of these individuals,
and the cost to society by lowering health care costs
associated with treatment.

CMHS Grant Primary Care/Specialty Mental
Health Care for the Elderly
To create a system within two
primary care facilities to screen for, assess, and treat MI/SA
among older adults, ages 65 and older, and comparing an
integrated service model with a referral, specialty, MH/SA are
model. Screening and treatment will be coordinated with local
community agencies and senior housing programs. The study,
using feedback from evaluations and continuous quality
improvement, will contribute to the development of more
effective approaches to problem identification and adherence
to referral/follow-up. |

Project Enhancing Readiness to Change in Schizophrenics
The long-term goal of this Stage I therapy development project
is to reduce drug abuse and its negative consequences in
persons with co-occurring schizophrenia. We predict that
participants receiving the motivational intervention will
increase their readiness to engage in drug abuse treatment and
their perception of the advantages of reducing drug use, and
decrease their perception of the disadvantages of such change.
Exploratory analyses will evaluate the effects of the
motivational intervention on treatment involvement, HIV risk
behavior, and drug use.

Primary Care/Specialty Mental Health Care for the
Elderly
The project will assess the effect of two
models of care – outpatient mental health service within
primary care setting and referral out to mental health
professional – on older adult patients of 10 affiliated
primary care practices that are served by a fee-for-service
mental health carve-out group. Assessment will span
clinical symptoms, quality of life, global function, service
utilization, and satisfaction. |
