Community Ment Health J. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1007/s10597-023-01200-3. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn Italy, despite strong community-based mental health services, needs assessment is unsatisfactory.

User Experiences of CBT for Anxiety and Depression: A Qualitative Systematic Review and Meta-synthesis
Community Ment Health J. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1007/s10597-023-01196-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is an evidence-based treatment for anxiety and depression.

Community Participation Challenges for Young Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders During COVID-19 A Photovoice Study
In this study conducted during COVID-19 regulations, autistic individuals identified COVID-19 and transportation as the primary barriers to community participation. COVID-19 was identified as both a barrier and a facilitator. Autistic individuals identified that COVID-19 enabled more on-line participation. Autistic individuals with co-occurring mental health conditions can experience a greater increase in symptoms when daily routines and participation are affected. Disruption and changes in participation for the autistic community during the COVID-19 pandemic can have future implications on this population's ability to rei...

Mental Health Care Access Among Arab Immigrants in the United States: Application of Public Arena Model
Community Ment Health J. 2023 Oct 26. doi: 10.1007/s10597-023-01182-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTArab immigrants constitute a sizable portion of the US population, and their adjustment and relocation challenges might escalate mental health issues. Nevertheless, mental health care accessibility among such populations is not recognized as policy issue. Hence, it is crucial to explore the political tools that might be employed to improve immigrants' access to mental health treatment. The Public Arenas Model (Hilgartner and Bosk, American Journal of Sociology 94:53-78, 1988) provides better understanding of how access to m...

Community Ment Health J. 2023 Oct 25. doi: 10.1007/s10597-023-01201-2. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTBehavioral Health Rehabilitation Service (BHRS) is a comprehensive service for Pennsylvania's Medicaid-enrolled youth and their families. In 2021, BHRS transitioned to Intensive Behavioral Health Service (IBHS) through state-wide policy change. To assess impact, the largest behavioral health managed care organization in the state compared service utilization in BHRS in 2019 versus IBHS in 2021. Results show that significantly more youth received non-Applied Behavior Analysis (non-ABA) services in BHRS (n = 13,795) than IBHS...

Yet, barriers to community integration for adults with mental illness such as social stigma, discrimination, and economic marginalization are often exacerbated by increased health and mobility challenges among older adults. Using photovoice, nine older adults with mental illness represented their views of community in photographs and group discussions over a six-week period. Participant themes of comm...
