Abstract
BACKGROUND Collaborative care (CC) is an evidence-based model of care for treating behavioral health conditions in primary care settings. The CC team consists of a primary care provider, behavioral health care manager (CM), and a consultant psychiatrist who collaborate to create treatment plans. To date, there is limited data on factors associated with meaningful engagement in CC programs. OBJECTIVE To identify the proportion of patients who were meaningfully engaged and to investigate the factors associated with meaningful engagement in a CC program. METHODS Data was collected from a CC program implemented across 27 adult primary care clinics in a Midwestern, U.S. academic medical system. Logistic regression (n = 5218) was used to estimate the odds of receiving meaningful engagement. RESULTS Data was collected from 6437 individuals with 68% being female and a mean age of 45 years old (standard deviation 17.6). Overall, 57% of patients were meaningfully engaged; however, this proportion differed based on demographic and clinical factors. Among modifiable clinical factors, systematic case reviews between the CM and psychiatrist (odds ratio: 10.2, 95% confidence interval: 8.6-12.1) and warm handoffs (odds ratio: 1.3, 95% confidence interval: 1.1-1.5) were associated with a higher likelihood of receiving meaningful engagement. CONCLUSIONS The presence of systematic case reviews between the behavioral health CM and the consultant psychiatrist was highly associated with meaningful engagement. When implementing such programs, high fidelity to the core principles including regularly scheduled systematic case reviews should be pursued.

J Acad Consult Liaison Psychiatry 2024; 65:148-156.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the perceived acceptability and helpfulness of bipolar disorder symptom measures and rank the measures in order of preference among individuals with bipolar disorder. METHODS We recruited 20 participants 18 years of age or older with any type of bipolar disorder from a primary care clinical site and a national advocacy organization. We used a simultaneous complementary mixed-method design involving completion of symptom measures, a semistructured interview, and numerical ranking of measures. Participants completed three symptom measures or combination of measures: 1) Affective Self-Rating Scale; 2) combination Patient Mania Questionnaire-9 (PMQ-9) and Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9); and 3) combination Altman Self-Rating Mania Rating Scale and PHQ-9. A semistructured interview was conducted, and participants ranked their preferences for measures. Interviews focused on participants' rationale for measuring preferences. Interviews were analyzed by two psychiatrist-investigators using content analysis, and themes were determined. Average rank of each measure was determined. RESULTS The average rank for each measure was 1.48 for the combination PMQ-9 and PHQ-9, 1.68 for the Affective Self-Rating Scale, and 2.85 for the combination Altman Self-Rating Mania Rating Scale and PHQ-9, indicating that the combination PMQ-9 and PHQ-9 (top-ranked measure by 55% of participants) was the most preferred among the three measures. Major themes that emerged from the data were: 1) measure format; 2) patient experience; 3) clinical practice; and 4) therapeutic effects. CONCLUSIONS Individuals with bipolar disorder preferred the combination PMQ-9 and PHQ-9 for use in monitoring treatment due to perceived strengths such as format, ease of completion and interpretation, accurate description of experiences, and feasibility of use in practice.

Abstract
Bipolar disorder is associated with a considerable risk of suicide, and this fact must be incorporated into management of all patients with the condition. This article highlights the importance of a more nuanced understanding of the factors associated with the increased risk of suicidal behavior in people diagnosed as having bipolar disorder and interventions that could mitigate it. Several sociodemographic, clinical, environmental, and other variables have been associated with suicide attempts or deaths in bipolar disorder. Youths with bipolar disorder are a particularly vulnerable group, and their trajectory of illness could be modified by early interventions. Several medications have been studied regarding their relationship to suicide risk in bipolar disorder, and interventional psychiatry is a newer area of research focus. Finally, community-based approaches can be incorporated into a comprehensive approach to suicide prevention. This article summarizes the current understanding of key variables that can help inform a clinical risk assessment of individuals and interventions that can be employed in suicide prevention in bipolar disorder.
