Psychological flexibility is the ACE we need: A commentary on ACEs screening in adolescent primary care: Psychological flexibility as a moderator.
This article shows how important it is to screen psychological flexibility. Going forward, clinicians would benefit from understanding the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), psychological flexibility, and other common presenting issues, such as anxiety, eating disorders, and school refusal. And then extend the findings of ACE and psychological flexibility screening into trauma-informed care.

Peer review: The jury duty of science.
In conclusion, the efforts of this editorial team to maintain a robust reviewer pool by inspiring, rewarding, training, and growing diversity cannot be the only efforts in this area. Those who “decline” jury duty may experience punitive consequences; however, there are no direct consequences for a qualified professional who declines to review, even routinely. Ultimately, the scientific community suffers, with a slower process that can then deteriorate. As a collective of professionals who value the contributions of science, we must all work to protect and grow participation in reviewing. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2...

Implementation of a universal screening and follow-up care system for pediatric developmental and behavioral health in federally qualified health center sites.
Conclusions: Implementation of a multicomponent developmental and behavioral health screening and follow-up care intervention enabled FQHC sites to meet AAP recommendations and provide follow-up support. Disseminating the intervention may support population-level improvement in early detection and intervention for developmental delays and behavioral health concerns.

Primary care provider perspectives on virtual and in-person depression management during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Conclusions: During the pandemic, there has been heightened PCP concern for patients’ emotional well-being and adaptations of clinic processes to meet needs for depression care. While PCPs were optimistic about new virtual care options for depression management, virtual care transfers remained poorly defined and the extent to which patient care experiences and health outcomes have been disrupted remains unknown.

Learnings from the implementation of standardized content and processes for integrated behavioral health prevention visits.
Discussion: Results indicated a high level of concordance between provider self-ratings and independent coder ratings of fidelity. Findings suggest that a prevention-based, universal, standardized model of care with a psychosocially complex population was feasible to develop and adhere to. Learnings generated from this study may guide other programs seeking to develop standardization interventions and fidelity processes that can ensure high-quality, evidence-based care.

Delay and nonreceipt of needed healthcare in U.S. adults with household family members with serious health needs.
This study examines the odds of U.S. adults' own unmet healthcare needs due to cost when living with a family member who has serious health needs. Methods: In this cross-sectional analysis of 2018 National Health Interview Survey data, we use multivariate logistic regression models to estimate the odds of U.S. adults' own delay and nonreceipt of care when living with a spouse or partner, child under age 18, or parent/parent-in-law with a limiting chronic condition or high volume of past-year healthcare use. Results: Of 56,165 adults surveyed, 51.7% were female, and 63.1% were non-Hispanic White. Adults who had a household ...

Reflections on the signs and science of belonging in integrated care.
Families, Systems, & Health, Vol 41(1), Mar 2023, 131-133; doi:10.1037/fsh0000788For this inaugural reflection, the author began by thinking about what the Collaborative Family Healthcare Association (CFHA) has been for them, and they suspect for many others. As a naïve early career professional, the author joined CFHA with wide-eyed optimism about the future of the integrated care movement and the giddy excitement only a true nerd can appreciate when you get to befriend the individuals who have made one's career possible. This community is the space where peers and leaders sharpened the author's knowledge and where they ...
