FORWARD

In March 2001, the National Institutes of Health issued the following warning: "The number

of Web sites offering health-related resources grows every day. Many sites provide valuable

information, while others may have information that is unreliable or misleading."1

Furthermore, because of the rapid increase in Internet-based information, many hours can

be wasted searching, selecting, and printing. Since only the smallest fraction of information

dealing with mental health is indexed in search engines, such as www.google.com or others,

a non-systematic approach to Internet research can be not only time consuming, but also

incomplete. This book was created for medical professionals, students, and members of the

general public who want to know as much as possible about mental health, using the most

advanced research tools available and spending the least amount of time doing so.

In addition to offering a structured and comprehensive bibliography, the pages that follow

will tell you where and how to find reliable information covering virtually all topics related

to mental health, from the essentials to the most advanced areas of research. Public,

academic, government, and peer-reviewed research studies are emphasized. Various

abstracts are reproduced to give you some of the latest official information available to date

on mental health. Abundant guidance is given on how to obtain free-of-charge primary

research results via the Internet. While this book focuses on the field of medicine, when

some sources provide access to non-medical information relating to mental health, these

are noted in the text.

E-book and electronic versions of this book are fully interactive with each of the Internet

sites mentioned (clicking on a hyperlink automatically opens your browser to the site

indicated). If you are using the hard copy version of this book, you can access a cited Web

site by typing the provided Web address directly into your Internet browser. You may find

it useful to refer to synonyms or related terms when accessing these Internet databases.

NOTE: At the time of publication, the Web addresses were functional. However, some links

may fail due to URL address changes, which is a common occurrence on the Internet.

For readers unfamiliar with the Internet, detailed instructions are offered on how to access

electronic resources. For readers unfamiliar with medical terminology, a comprehensive

glossary is provided. For readers without access to Internet resources, a directory of medical

libraries, that have or can locate references cited here, is given. We hope these resources will

prove useful to the widest possible audience seeking information on mental health.

CHAPTER 1. STUDIES ON MENTAL HEALTH

Overview

In this chapter, we will show you how to locate peer-reviewed references and studies on

mental health.

The Combined Health Information Database

The Combined Health Information Database summarizes studies across numerous federal

agencies. To limit your investigation to research studies and mental health, you will need to

use the advanced search options. First, go to http://chid.nih.gov/index.html. From there,

select the “Detailed Search” option (or go directly to that page with the following hyperlink:

http://chid.nih.gov/detail/detail.html). The trick in extracting studies is found in the drop

boxes at the bottom of the search page where “You may refine your search by.” Select the

dates and language you prefer, and the format option “Journal Article.” At the top of the

search form, select the number of records you would like to see (we recommend 100) and

check the box to display “whole records.” We recommend that you type “mental health” (or

synonyms) into the “For these words:” box. Consider using the option “anywhere in record”

to make your search as broad as possible. If you want to limit the search to only a particular

field, such as the title of the journal, then select this option in the “Search in these fields”

drop box. The following is what you can expect from this type of search:

• Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Essential for Meeting the Mental Health Needs of

HIV/AIDS Clients and Providers

Source: HIV / AIDS & Mental Hygiene; Vol. 4, No. 2, Dec. 1994.

Contact: New York University, School of Education Health Nursing and Arts

Professions, Department of Health Studies, AIDS/SIDA Mental Hygiene Project, 35 W

4th St Ste 1200, New York, NY, 10012, (212) 998-5614.

Summary: This article focuses on the need for interdisciplinary collaboration among

professionals in the fields of mental health, education, and social work to provide more

effective, better coordinated, and improved services to HIV/AIDS clients. It stresses

education/training programs for interdisciplinary collaboration that include clergy,

substance abuse counselors, health educators, and youth workers, as well as highlights

4 Mental Health

the role of community-based organizations in the planning, implementation, and

evaluation of provided services. The article discusses interdisciplinary collaboration as a

necessary component of today's health-related services. It emphasizes the team concept

as a synergistic relationship, where each member functions as part of a whole. This

approach removes the burden of total responsibility from a single person, increases

chances for a holistic approach, and effectuates interdisciplinary collaboration through

the utilization of individual expertise and skill diversity.

• HIV - Related Mental Health in Correctional Settings

Source: FOCUS: A Guide to AIDS Research and Counseling; Vol. 12, No. 2, Jan. 1997.

Contact: University of California San Francisco, AIDS Health Project, PO Box 0884, San

Francisco, CA, 94143-0884, (415) 476-6430.

Summary: This article integrates theory and clinical practice for professionals working

with HIV-positive incarcerated persons. The combination of powerlessness among

inmates combines with the prejudice among people who live and work in prison to

further isolate HIV-infected inmates. Many inmates use denial to deal with HIV disease.

The most significant challenge for prison mental health professionals is to help inmates

overcome denial. Clinical interventions should focus on consciousness raising, relief,

and environmental re-evaluation to move inmates out of the precontemplative stage of

change and engage them in the therapeutic process. Many inmates have difficulty

building a therapeutic alliance. Support groups can complement individual therapy.

With a strong professional support and consultation network and an understanding of

prison culture, mental health providers can respond to the needs of HIV-positive

inmates.

Contact: We the People Living with AIDS, HIV of the Delaware Valley Incorporated, 425

South Broad St, Philadelphia, PA, 19147, (215) 545-6868.

Summary: This article promotes awareness of depression associated with HIV/AIDS.

Written by a clinical psychologist living with AIDS, it discusses the symptoms and

causes of depression. The author points out that depression can be expressed in

"negative self-talk", and isolation. He suggests that talking with someone who

understands depression may help, and recommends seeking help from a psychiatrist,

psychologist, social worker, counselor, or support group. He also refers to the use of

psychotropic medications or anti-depressants for relief of symptoms. The conclusion

points out that working through depression and developing a fuller understanding of

the personal effects of HIV/AIDS can be beneficial in that it can lead to developing new

ways of coping.

• Early HIV Detection, A Community Mental Health Role

Source: The Journal of Mental Health Administration; Vol. 18, no. 1, Winter 1991.

Contact: University of South Florida, Florida Mental Health Institute, Department of

Community Mental Health, 13301 Bruce B Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL, 33612-3899.

Summary: This journal article documents the changing need for early detection of HIV

infection among the mentally ill and proposes a role for community mental health

centers (CMHCs) in that process. Many CMHC directors have expressed concern that

Studies 5

their center might incur financial obligation for the medical treatment of infected clients,

and staff are anxious about their liability if they know a client is HIV positive. Mental

health staff report great discomfort in working with HIV-infected clients. Ignorance of

HIV status can result in greater risk of medical complications and denies the individual

the opportunity to take the necessary steps to prolong life and prevent transmission.

Individuals who know their HIV status can plan their lives appropriately, obtain good

medical care, avoid other infections, avoid becoming pregnant, and behave responsibly.

Advances in specific therapeutics make it vital that who are those infected know their

status well before they become overtly ill. The authors conclude that reluctance to refer

for testing because of staff concerns should be tempered by a policy of referring for

testing whenever indication of infection arises.

• Mental Health Issues and Alzheimer's Disease

Source: American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. 14(2): 102-110. March-April 1999.

Summary: This journal article examines methods for coping with and treating the

psychiatric symptoms and behavioral manifestations of Alzheimer's disease- safety of

the caregiver and the diagnosed individual being of primary significance. Methods

discussed include interventions available when less restrictive or intensive interventions

fail, such as institutionalization, physical and chemical restraints, and psychiatric

hospitalization. Three case examples are presented to illustrate the issues raised.

• AIDS - Related Ethical and Legal Issues for Mental Health Professionals

Source: Journal of Mental Health Counseling; Vol. 16, No. 4, Oct. 1994.

Contact: American Counseling Association, 5999 Stevenson Ave, Alexandria, VA, 22304-

3300, (703) 823-9800, http://www.counseling.org.

Summary: This journal article examines some of the legal and ethical issues faced by

mental health professionals. It highlights professional responsibility, competence, and

confidentiality. The article identifies and clarifies concerns and situations confronting

mental health professionals who are working with HIV-positive persons, citing several

significant court cases.

• The HIV Mental Health Spectrum

Source: Community Mental Health Journal; Vol. 30, No. 1, February 1994.

Contact: University of South Florida, Center for HIV Education and Research, AIDS

Education And Training Center, 13301 Bruce B Downs Blvd, Tampa, FL, 33612-3899,

(813) 974-4430, http://www.fmhi.usf.edu/hiv/.

Summary: This reprint concentrates on a model of the mental health spectrum which

describes persons affected by AIDS. It identifies and characterizes populations in need

of HIV-related services which can be offered by community mental health centers. The

focus is on specialized service requirements for each population, the challenges in

providing these services, and meeting staff training needs. The authors conclude that

intervention is necessary at every level of the spectrum, more research is needed to

discover the most effective interventions for each level, and that continuing staff

training in HIV-related issues is essential.

Federally Funded Research on Mental Health

The U.S. Government supports a variety of research studies relating to mental health. These

studies are tracked by the Office of Extramural Research at the National Institutes of

Health.2 CRISP (Computerized Retrieval of Information on Scientific Projects) is a searchable

database of federally funded biomedical research projects conducted at universities,

hospitals, and other institutions.

Search the CRISP Web site at http://crisp.cit.nih.gov/crisp/crisp_query.generate_screen.

You will have the option to perform targeted searches by various criteria, including

geography, date, and topics related to mental health.

For most of the studies, the agencies reporting into CRISP provide summaries or abstracts.

As opposed to clinical trial research using patients, many federally funded studies use

animals or simulated models to explore mental health. The following is typical of the type of

information found when searching the CRISP database for mental health:

• Project Title: 2001 RURAL MENTAL HEALTH RESERACH CONFERENCE

Principal Investigator & Institution: Pacelli, Sheryl A.; Coastal Area Health Education

Center Box 9025, 2131 S 17Th St Wilmington, Nc 28402

Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 01-JUN-2001; Project End 31-MAY-2002

Summary: The applicant is the Health Sciences Foundation, Inc., an educational non￾profit organization governed by a board of directors, who administers the Coastal Area

Health Education Center (Coastal AHEC). Each year, the National Association for Rural

Mental Health Board of Directors sponsors a conference for its membership. The 2001

conference will be held in Wilmington, NC and co-sponsored by the Coastal AHEC. The

2001 conference is designed to increase the research-based knowledge of mental health

professionals, enhance mental health professional skills and service delivery, and

strengthen delivery networks, educational programs and support services offered to

rural children, youth and families. Two half-day pre-conference programs will be held

on June 23, 2001. The conference will begin at noon on June 24 and end at noon on June

26. The agenda consists of four concurrent tracks covering family and children services,

clinical issues, program management, and technology. Each track will begin with a

keynote speaker who will present the most recent research on the particular track issue.

A second keynote speaker will present training issues/skills related to the particular

track. Each track will then have break-out sessions to describe "Best Practice" models.

An additional objective for Coastal AHEC and NARMH is to disseminate the 2001

conference information through audio tapes, printed materials, and the NARMH web

site to non-attending members and other rural mental health practitioners and

administrators.

• Project Title: ASSESSING ADM SERVICE NEEDS AMONG JUVENILE

DETAINEES

Principal Investigator & Institution: Teplin, Linda A.; Professor; Psychiatry and

Behavioral Scis; Northwestern University Office of Sponsored Programs Chicago, Il

60611

Timing: Fiscal Year 2001; Project Start 30-SEP-1998; Project End 31-MAY-2003

Summary: We propose adding a longitudinal component to our current NIMH-funded

study of juvenile detainees (MH54197) to complement the NIMH-funded study, "Use,

Need, Outcomes and Costs in Children and Adolescent Population" (UNOCCAP), of

general population youth. Although researchers speculate that many juvenile detainees

have alcohol, drug or mental (ADM) disorders, there are few empirical data. Our

current study is the first large-scale study of alcohol, drug and mental health (ADM)

service needs of juvenile detainees (n=1800 detainees; 1200 males and 600 females, 10-17

years old). Our current study does not include follow-up interviews and no general

population comparisons. Because we collect extensive baseline data and (funded by

grants from NIMH, NIDA the MacArthur Foundation), we are tracking them, we have a

unique opportunity. By adding a longitudinal component, we could investigate the

incidence and course of ADM disorders during a key developmental period as well as

whether or not their disorders are detected, the time of services they receive, and their

level of unmet meed. Adding a longitudinal component to our current study would also

allow us to study prospectively three risky behaviors- drug use, violence and HIV risk

behaviors- all of which are major public health problems and are prevalent among

delinquent youth. The proposed study has three specific aims: (1) ADM Service Needs.

We will re-assess the extent and distribution of ADM disorders (including incidence,

duration, patterns, sequence of co-morbidity and risk and protective factors) and

functional impairments among our subjects and compare them to general population

(UNOCCAP) rates. (2) Service Utilization. We will assess whether or not juveniles who

need services (as determined in Specific Aim #1) receive them after their cases reach

disposition (whether they are in the community or incarcerated), from which system

(e.g., mental health, juvenile or adult justice, child welfare, etc.), which services they

receive, and how patterns of use differ from those of general population youth. (2) Risky

Behaviors. We will assess the patterns and developmental sequence of drug use,

violence, and HIV risk behaviors in our sample, including the antecedents of these risky

behaviors (especially ADM disorders), how youth developed these risky behaviors and

how these behaviors are interrelated. This proposal responds to the NIMH National

Plan for Research on Child and Adolescent Mental Disorders, which called for research

on mental health services among juvenile offenders; to Healthy People 2000, which

called for research on reducing HIV risk behaviors; to NIDA's Program Announcements

PA-95-022, PA-95-057, PA-95-059, PA-955-055, and PA-95-083; and to NIDA's March,

1996 amendment requesting research on the co- occurrence, developmental sequence,

and health consequences of violence, drug abuse and HIV/AIDS.

• Project Title: ASSESSMENT OF JUVENILLE BIPOLAR SPECTRUM DISORDERS

Principal Investigator & Institution: Youngstrom, Eric A.; Psychology; Case Western

Reserve University 10900 Euclid Ave Cleveland, Oh 44106

Timing: Fiscal Year 2003; Project Start 01-JUN-2003; Project End 31-MAR-2008

Summary: (provided by applicant): Bipolar spectrum disorders (BPSD) are commonly

misdiagnosed in community mental health settings, resulting in suboptimal treatment
