Abstract:
SummaryIt is now known that the onset of severe and recurring mental health problems begins for the most part before the age of 25: this provides a clear focus for preventive strategies and public mental health that are a feature of many health policy frameworks. The present distinction between child and adolescent mental health services and adult services at 16 or 18 does not fit easily with these data and the now well-documented problems of transition suggest that a fundamental review of services for young people is overdue. This supplement provides an overview of the epidemiological, conceptual and service structures for young people with emergent and existing mental health problems, and asks the question, ‘How should we design services for young people to promote prevention and service engagement, and to improve outcomes?’

Abstract:
People with a lived experience of mental illness are at a higher risk for developing oral diseases and having poorer oral health than the broader population. This paper explores the role of Australian community mental health services in supporting the prevention and management of poor oral health among people living with mental illness. Through focus groups and semi-structured interviews, participants identified the value of receiving oral health support within a community mental health setting, in particular the delivery of basic education, preventive strategies, assistance with making or attending appointments and obtaining priority access to oral health services. Engagement with Community Health Services and referrals generated through the priority access system were identified as key enablers to addressing oral health issues. This study provides new insight into the importance of undertaking an integrated approach to reducing the oral health disparities experienced by those living with mental illness.

Abstract:
Suicide is one of the leading causes of mortality among adolescent suicides. Data from the WHO European Multicentre study on attempted suicide indicates that rates of attempted suicide and suicide in the young co-vary. The association is strongest and significant for male adolescents and young adults. Furthermore, recent studies have reported a shift to suicide methods with higher lethality for both genders.Suicide prevention strategies are directed at the general population and health care services. Suicide risk is high among adolescents with psychiatric illness, so adequate treatment and detection of psychiatric illnesses in young people is essential. Preventive measures in health care services after a suicide attempt and early recognition of young people at risk in schools are also essential strategies.The emphasis of suicide prevention work needs to shift to an earlier stage of the suicidal process. This question is addressed by the global suicide prevention initiative SUPRE (SUicide PREvention), in the WHO publication Preventing suicide: a resource for teachers and other school staff, which can be adapted to local conditions and inserted in syllabuses for training both pupils and staff.An intervention project called SAYLE: Saving Young lives in Europe is funded by the EU for adolescents in European schools over 12 EU countries. Its main objectives are to lead adolescents to better health through decreased risk taking and suicidal behaviours. Outcomes of preventive programs will be evaluated and culturally adjusted models for promoting health of adolescents in different European countries are planned to be developed.

Abstract:
Many studies have investigated the impact of gender on mental health, but only a few have addressed gender differences in mental health risk and prevention. We conducted a narrative review to assess the current state of knowledge on gender-specific mental health preventive interventions, along with an analysis of gender-based risk factors and available screening strategies. Out of 1598 articles screened using a comprehensive electronic search of the PubMed, Web-of-Science, Scopus, and Cochrane databases, 53 were included for review. Among risk factors for mental health problems, there are individual, familiar, social, and healthcare factors. Individual factors include childhood adversities, which show gender differences in distribution rates. However, current childhood abuse prevention programs are not gender-specific. Familiar factors for mental health problems include maternity issues and intimate partner violence, and for both, some gender-specific preventive interventions are available. Social risk factors for mental health problems are related to education, employment, discrimination, and relationships. They all display gender differences, but these differences are rarely taken into account in mental health prevention programs. Lastly, despite gender differences in mental health service use being widely known, mental health services appear to be slow in developing strategies that guarantee equal access to care for all individuals.

Abstract:
SummaryThere is excess morbidity and mortality from physical illness in people with mental disorders. Problems of somatic care in this patient group comprise difficulties of access to care, problems of equity and adequate use of diagnostic procedures and interventions. There are deficits in routine screening and monitoring, e.g. of metabolic and cardiovascular risks. Measures to ensure adequate physical health care include practical steps to increase service uptake and screening, service-level change such as integrated care models, preventive health interventions and optimisation of psychotropic drug treatment to reduce risk profiles. Issues of stigma and discrimination are important, and the level of staff training and quality of professionals are likely to be pivotal in bringing about change.

Abstract:
Preventive care to address chronic disease risk behaviours is infrequently provided by community mental health services. In this cluster-randomised controlled trial, 12 community mental health services in 3 Local Health Districts in New South Wales, Australia, will be randomised to either an intervention group (implementing a new model of providing preventive care) or a control group (usual care). The model of care comprises three components: (1) a dedicated ‘healthy choices’ consultation offered by a ‘healthy choices’ clinician; (2) embedding information regarding risk factors into clients’ care plans; and (3) the continuation of preventive care by mental health clinicians in ongoing consultations. Evidence-based implementation strategies will support the model implementation, which will be tailored by being co-developed with service managers and clinicians. The primary outcomes are client-reported receipt of: (1) an assessment of chronic disease risks (tobacco smoking, inadequate fruit and vegetable consumption, harmful alcohol use and physical inactivity); (2) brief advice regarding relevant risk behaviours; and (3) referral to at least one behaviour change support. Resources to develop and implement the intervention will be captured to enable an assessment of cost effectiveness and affordability. The findings will inform the development of future service delivery initiatives to achieve guideline- and policy-concordant preventive care delivery.

Abstract:
SummaryThe government's Public Health White Paper for England sets out a utopian vision of how to prevent and remedy mental health problems. The public health approach relies on primary prevention, promoting individual responsibilities and resilience, while also sustaining existing services and tackling inequalities. These ambitions are consistent with the preventive psychiatric paradigm, and with the best of evidence-based psychiatric practice. Although the evidence on cost-effectiveness of public mental health interventions is growing, the challenge is to ensure that specialist knowledge informs policy, practice and research so that inequalities are not compounded. Specialist mental health professionals are needed to inform and lead public health reforms.

Abstract:
IntroductionDepressive disorders have been related to increased health service utilization, but specific information about associations between health professional-diagnosed depression and the utilization of health care and preventive services in the general population is limited.ObjectivesTo compare the use of health care and preventive services among men and women with and without diagnosed depression in the general population in Germany.AimsTo examine the association of diagnosed depression with the utilization of healthcare and preventive services.MethodsCross-sectional analysis of data from the representative telephone survey German Health Update (GEDA) 2009 and 2010 (n = 43.312 residents in private households 18 years and older). We analyzed associations between self-reported health professional-diagnosed depression (past 12 months) and the use of a range of healthcare services and preventive services covered by statutory health insurances using multivariable regressions adjusted for age, socio-economic status, marital status, employment and number of chronic somatic conditions.ResultsTwelve-month diagnosed depression was associated with increased health care service utilization (physician contacts, hospital admissions, rehabilitation) in both sexes. Of the preventive services, diagnosed depression was associated with increased use of general health check-ups, cancer screening and flu vaccination among women, while there was no association with dental check-up and tetanus and pertussis vaccination. Among men, no association of diagnosed depression with any preventive service was found except for cancer screening.ConclusionsHealth professional-diagnosed depression is associated with increased health service utilization independent of somatic comorbidity and socio-demographic confounders. This includes some preventive services in women and only one preventive service in men.Disclosure of interestThe authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Abstract:
The risks to children's well-being are accelerating because, in part, of an increasingly porous social safety net. Pediatricians are being asked to bear an ever-increasing burden for helping children and families address a myriad of issues, and they have become the providers of last resort. As the distance between what we should do and what we can do as clinicians widens, so too does our frustration and willingness to consider addressing yet one more issue. We often retreat to the comfortable world of otitis media and immunizations and shut out the loud cacophony of the outside world and its effects on our families. We need a new model of care, based on an ecological approach to child health consistent with Bright Futures,40 which provides child health supervision guidelines. To meet these needs, some settings may develop models in which skilled professionals can provide advocacy services, parental health, parental mental health, and child development services in the context of pediatric practice. Although most practices or clinic programs will not have the space or resources to include all of these services, the development and implementation of any one of them will enrich the care of children and families. Other services such as legal aid, family literacy, and mental health may be available in the community and could be colocated in the pediatric setting as outreach efforts on the part of these programs or linked in a manner that ensures accessibility. Similar enhancements to primary-care programs for special groups of children at risk, including those who are homeless, drug exposed, in foster care, and born to teen-age mothers, are being developed in many communities. The cost of such services presents difficult obstacles. However, given the progressive growth of prepaid practices and competition among plans for patients, services such as those provided by a child development specialist might increase the attractiveness of the plan and allow recruitment of more families. Reducing cigarette smoking, preventing unwanted pregnancy, and reducing drug and alcohol use have potential cost-saving implications that will interest managed-care programs. On the other hand, health care plans may limit services if potential financial benefits are uncertain or acrue to another sector such as schools. For populations at risk, especially health-education collaboration of this type (whether funded and/or cofunded with funds from federal or state department of education budgets, Medicaid, managed-care contracts, tobacco tax revenues, and/or federal family planning funds) should be pursued. Most of the services we have described are, in fact, already available in most communities and/or health plans. Without new net costs, it may be possible to reallocate some or all of these services to the pediatric primary-care setting in a single-site, one-stop-shopping model. Redeploying services to the pediatric primary-care setting may increase accessibility to these important preventive services and improve the health and well-being of children and their parents.

Abstract:
The present cross-sectional study assessed the attitude of Japanese undergraduates towards mental health services and investigated whether mental distress is associated with reluctance to use, and a decreased perceived need for, mental health services. A convenience sample of 194 students (98 men and 96 women) completed the 28-item Japanese version of the General Health Questionnaire and questions regarding reluctance to use and perceived need for mental health services. Participants were in the second to fourth years of undergraduate work and their majors were psychology and technology. Analyses showed that approximately 70% of students were reluctant to use mental health services and this reluctance was less in the group scoring high on anxiety and insomnia than the group scoring lower. Also, perceived need for mental health services was higher for those scoring high on depression. There were some discrepancies in the results and previous studies. Implications of these findings for clinical and preventive practice and for direction for research are discussed.

Abstract:
Mental health is very influential in the welfare of life both physically and socially. People who are said to be mentally healthy are when they are free from various symptoms of mental illness. Symptoms of mental disorders include depression, fear, anxiety and so on. Mental health disorders can be prevented. Preventive action is by providing knowledge and awareness to the community, one of which is through social media. Mental Health Digital Platform Ibunda.Id campaigns for mental health using social media. This study aims to determine the technique of the Ibunda.Id digital platform in campaigning for mental health to the public through social media. The method used in this research is literature study and observation. This research uses a qualitative case study approach. The results of the discussion found that the ibunda.id Digital Platform in campaigning for mental health applied Collaborative Techniques with various parties and utilized social media including Instagram, Youtube, Facebook, and Websites. A verified Instagram account is one of the techniques for campaigning for mental health through social media using cool and unique content so that information can be easily conveyed clearly and accepted by the public. Mental health campaigned by the Ibunda.Id Digital Platform through social media is quite successful and has a good impact on the community

Abstract:
This paper describes a state- and county-sponsored program that provides preventive and crisis-intervention services in three schools serving severely emotionally disturbed students. Students in these schools typically have histories of previous mental health diagnoses and treatment, often including hospitalization and/or residential or correctional placements, with little or no follow-up mental health services in the community. These students tend to have untreated disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, mood disorders, and chemical dependency but have “fallen through the cracks” of the mental health system and remain at high risk for deterioration and out-of-home placements. This project utilizes a county social worker in the schools to coordinate services, intervene in crisis situations, and facilitate appropriate treatment for the students by acting as a liaison with students, special educators, school social workers, parents, child protection and child welfare services, the correctional system, and mental health providers. The program is described in detail, with examples of types of interventions and recommendations for future programs.

World Health Organization (WHO) declared the COVID-19 outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. Mental health strategies implemented due to the coronavirus epidemic must include the assessment of mental health status of people in different subpopulations influenced by the COVID-19 outbreak, identifying persons who are at high risk of manifesting behavior disorders, suicide attempt, and aggression in aim of providing appropriate mental health care interventions for those in need. The target population of these mental health strategies is categorized in four different groups: the most vulnerable people with mental health problems, isolated people with symptoms of atypical acute respiratory infection, individuals who have been in close contact with the previous two categories, and people affected by the preventive and restrictive measures.

School counselors provide comprehensive school counseling services related to prevention of school violence, but a critical step is to put those pieces together in an intentional and preventive evidence-based model. Several nationally recognized safe school initiatives neglect the significant role school counselors provide in mental health services to create a safe and connected school climate. School counselors and school counselors in training need an evidence-based approach that clearly defines their roles and responsibilities for prevention and intervention related to school shootings. Elevating and expanding school counselors’ role and responsibilities to address students’ mental health needs, creating safe and connected school environments, and providing thorough and effective threat assessments are essential and align with school counselor clinical training.

Abstract:
Objective: The university medical services vary around the world (even within each university), but there are only a few publications on the utilization of these services by the students. The available on-campus services of public health care might include general health care, women’s centers, mental health care, disability services, wellness resource centers, career counseling, and alcohol and other drug education programs. Evidence Acquisition: This paper reviews the current literature on the overtime and current (due to Covid-19 pandemic) public health needs of college students based on studies that report the commonest specific diagnostic reasons for using the on-campus health care services. Results: Special reference is done on mental health problems among students generally and the students of health professions fields (a specific category themselves). Besides, other issues of interest are the substance-related problems among students and their perceptions about mental health problems and on- campus help- seeking services. Conclusions: It is unanimous that we need further educational and promotional campaigns to enhance the students; help-seeking behaviors, reduce stigmatizing behaviors and create more preventive public health services on campus, but also out-campus due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Abstract:
With already wide disparities in physical health and life expectancy, COVID-19 presents people with mental illness with additional threats to their health: decreased access to health services, increased social isolation, and increased socio-economic disadvantage. Each of these factors has exacerbated the risk of poor health and early death for people with mental illness post-COVID-19. Unless effective primary care and preventative health responses are implemented, the physical illness epidemic for this group will increase post the COVID-19 pandemic. This perspective paper briefly reviews the literature on the impact of COVID-19 on service access, social isolation, and social disadvantage and their combined impact on physical health, particularly cancer, respiratory diseases, heart disease, smoking, and infectious diseases. The much-overlooked role of poor physical health on suicidality is also discussed. The potential impact of public health interventions is modelled based on Australian incidence data and current research on the percentage of early deaths of people living with mental illnesses that are preventable. Building on the lessons arising from services’ response to COVID-19, such as the importance of ensuring access to preventive, screening, and primary care services, priority recommendations for consideration by public health practitioners and policymakers are presented.

Abstract:
Young adolescents, age 10–15 years, have increasing psychosocial and biomedical health care needs, yet are some of the lowest users of conventional health services. In eastern North Carolina, school-based health centers (SBHCs) provide primary health care to thousands of school-age children in the most rural, medically underserved areas. SBHCs receive reimbursement from local, state, and private funding sources and their viability depends on the demonstration of outcomes. Using the Guidelines for Adolescent Preventive Services (GAPS) assessment tool, an SBHC–university nursing partnership evaluated the use of preventive health services by fifth and sixth grade students ( n = 690). Findings suggest that the vast majority of early adolescents needed a referral for a physical exam, nutrition, mental health, or health education services. This article describes key components for a successful SBHC–university nursing partnership that can evaluate and improve existing school health programs.

Abstract:
The current system of mental health care in Greece was created in accordance with the European Union and other international principles for mental health care provisions. Whereas Greece has been reforming its system of mental health care since at least the 1980s, the main recent Greek effort has been Psychargos, a program which began in 2000 and is still in effect. During the last two decades the Greek mental health system has been gradually shifting to a community-based system of care. Various services with unique, yet intertwined, responsibilities have been introduced. The Greek system of mental health care still faces challenges, and the mental health reform is ongoing. Future goals should be to improve the current framework of care and access to care by establishing community mental health services across the country that are fit for purpose, enhancing multidisciplinary collaboration and patient involvement, integrating community mental health care with physical and social care services, and ensuring that service development is driven by need. Crucially, such aims demand the adoption of a culture of clinical governance and a consistent shift from traditional therapeutic care to person-centred psychiatry and preventive psychiatry.

Abstract:
Many of Australia's most serious and distressing mental health problems are related to the breakdown of traditional family support structures. Regardless of age, people who live in families with high levels of interpersonal conflict, violence, poor communication and inadequate care are at increased risk for a variety of mental health problems. This paper summarises the main recommendations of a scientific advisory committee on families and mental health, which prepared the Healthy Families, Healthy Nation: Strategies for Promoting Family Mental Health in Australia (Sanders, 1995). The paper argues for the importance of better utilisation of existing knowledge concerning family support and intervention programs and for the importance of a preventive focus in the provision of family oriented mental health services. We also highlight some of the unresolved issues that should become a focus of future research.

Abstract:
Mental disorders still become an important issue in the health sector. Problems related to mental health in the community include knowledge, stigma and mental health services. Health resources in Indonesia still has various limitation, and integrating primary services so an effort that can be solve is to integrate primary services. One of the efforts that can be made at the primary care level is the formation of mental health cadres. Health cadres need to be given training in an effort to improve cadres' abilities to manage health services, especially to providing health education directly to the surrounding community. Community service activities carried out were training on early detection of mental disorders for 25 health cadres in Bugangan Village. Cadre knowledge about mental disorders increased 28% and cadres were able to know how to do early detection of mental disorders. The output of this community service activity is the formation of mental health cadres capable of early detection of mental disorders in the community. The next community service activity is expected to be able to screening the results of early detection of the community in as a form of preventive measures for risk groups.Key words: early detection; mental health cadres; mental health problems

The effects of losing a loved one through death on the physical and mental health of both adults and children are well documented in the literature. Children are likely to be referred to mental health professionals for various behaviour and emotional problems which may have a causative link with a bereavement within the family. In this paper I discuss the need for preventive work and, propose a role for child psychiatric services in preventive work for bereaved families with surviving children and adolescents. A ten-point plan is suggested as a guideline.

Abstract:
This study examines the impact of the provision of specialized transportation services for older adults on the attainment of preventive healthcare services in selected cities across Michigan. The main hypothesis is that transportation services are critical factors for older adults to not only attain preventive healthcare but also to maintain an active lifestyle that avoids the physical, mental and social isolation that they may face when advised to stop driving. Results indicate that provision of transit services and socio-economic characteristics have statistically significant effects on the attainment of preventive healthcare services. However, although transportation is a critical element for maintaining medical appointments, other factors need to be considered if we truly want to attain better health outcomes for all older adults. Qualitative analyses point to other logistical barriers and the need for more awareness of insurance plans and covered services in order to increase preventive healthcare attainment.

Abstract:
In recent years, children’s mental illness has become a major problem; but little is known about the problems and the available literature does not address this issue properly. The present study was meant to examine the current mental health care situations to promote access to services for children in Addis Ababa. The data have been cautiously collected through multiple data collection tools such as semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and questionnaires. The data analysed and interpreted from wider perspectives. The study result indicated insufficient mental health policies, limited access to specialized treatment, shortage of human resources, lack of early treatment, and preventive programs/education. There is a need for the comprehensive strategies and mechanisms which take the relevant variables into account to strengthen specialized care and awareness among society via integrating the study evidence into practices. The authors described very significant implications for future actions such as conducting further empirical studies, regular discussions with responsible stakeholders, etc.

Abstract:
Objective: Clinical practice guidelines recommend that community mental health services provide preventive care for clients’ chronic disease risk behaviours; however, such care is often not routinely provided. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of offering clients an additional consultation with a specialist clinician embedded within a community mental health service, in increasing client-reported receipt of, and satisfaction with, preventive care. Method: A randomised controlled trial was undertaken in one Australian community mental health service. Participants ( N = 811) were randomised to receive usual care (preventive care in routine consultations; n = 405) or usual care plus the offer of an additional consultation with a specialist preventive care clinician ( n = 406). Blinded interviewers assessed at baseline and 1-month follow-up the client-reported receipt of preventive care (assessment, advice and referral) for four key risk behaviours individually (smoking, poor nutrition, alcohol overconsumption and physical inactivity) and all applicable risks combined, acceptance of referrals and satisfaction with preventive care received. Results: Analyses indicated significantly greater increases in 12 of the 18 preventive care delivery outcomes in the intervention compared to the usual care condition from baseline to follow-up, including assessment for all risks combined (risk ratio = 4.00; 95% confidence interval = [1.57, 10.22]), advice for all applicable risks combined (risk ratio = 2.40; 95% confidence interval = [1.89, 6.47]) and offer of referral to applicable telephone services combined (risk ratio = 20.13; 95% confidence interval = [2.56, 158.04]). For each component of care, there was a significant intervention effect for at least one of the individual risk behaviours. Participants reported high levels of satisfaction with preventive care received, ranging from 77% (assessment) to 87% (referral), with no significant differences between conditions. Conclusion: The intervention had a significant effect on the provision of the majority of recommended elements of preventive care. Further research is needed to maximise its impact, including identifying strategies to increase client uptake.

Abstract:
Dental care services have the highest risk of transmitting the COVID-19. Many countries and health organizations published policies or procedures for dental care services implementation during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study compared the dental care policies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study narratively reviewed policies of dental care services before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. We searched for recommendations and guidelines on dental care policies by The Ministry of Health of Indonesia and The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The study result showed that the dental care policy before the COVID-19 pandemic explained infection preventive action in dental care facilities. Dental care policy during the COVID-19 pandemic explained COVID-19 preventive efforts and changes in the dental procedure like the use of teledentistry (to assess the dental condition of patients and follow up patients), postponing of elective surgeries, restricting the number of patients, screening COVID-19 for all patients, and implement of COVID-19 health protocol. The most striking differences among dental care policies before and during the COVID-19 pandemic were the pre-visit screening aspect (the use of teledentistry to assess dental condition) and the screening aspect (ensuring patients didn't have COVID-19 symptoms)

Abstract:
This study used a stratified sample to elicit information about policies and practices for managing detainees with mental illnesses in five sizes of jails. The research design involved 3 phases: (a) a mail survey to a random sampling of all United States jails, (b) a telephone survey to a stratified sample of 100 of the mail survey respondents, and (c) site visits to 10 jails. The findings indicated much emphasis in the jails' mental health services on screening, evaluation, and suicide prevention. Also, despite numerous barriers faced by jails in providing treatment for detainees with mental illnesses, many have designed and implemented innovative programs and policies for this group. The observed innovative programs and policies are divided into 5 core areas so that other jails, using the information provided, can develop a mental health service strategy within their resources.

Abstract:
Background Over the past decades, the deficient provision of evidence-based interventions for the prevention and treatment of mental health problems has become a global challenge across health care systems. In view of the ongoing diffusion of new media and mobile technologies into everyday life, Web-delivered electronic mental health (e-mental health) treatment services have been suggested to expand the access to professional help. However, the large-scale dissemination and adoption of innovative e-mental health services is progressing slowly. This discrepancy between potential and actual impact in public health makes it essential to explore public acceptability of e-mental health treatment services across health care systems. Objective This scoping review aimed to identify and evaluate recent empirical evidence for public acceptability, service preferences, and attitudes toward e-mental health treatments. On the basis of both frameworks for technology adoption and previous research, we defined (1) perceived helpfulness and (2) intentions to use e-mental health treatment services as indicators for public acceptability in the respective general population of reviewed studies. This mapping should reduce heterogeneity and help derive implications for systematic reviews and public health strategies. Methods We systematically searched electronic databases (MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, Psyndex, PsycARTICLES, and Cochrane Library, using reference management software for parallel searches) to identify surveys published in English in peer-reviewed journals between January 2010 and December 2015, focusing on public perceptions about e-mental health treatments outside the context of clinical, psychosocial, or diagnostic interventions. Both indicators were obtained from previous review. Exclusion criteria further involved studies targeting specific groups or programs. Results The simultaneous database search identified 76 nonduplicate records. Four articles from Europe and Australia were included in this scoping review. Sample sizes ranged from 217 to 2411 participants of ages 14-95 years. All included studies used cross-sectional designs and self-developed measures for outcomes related to both defined indicators of public acceptability. Three surveys used observational study designs, whereas one study was conducted as an experiment investigating the impact of brief educational information on attitudes. Taken together, the findings of included surveys suggested that e-mental health treatment services were perceived as less helpful than traditional face-to-face interventions. Additionally, intentions to future use e-mental health treatments were overall smaller in comparison to face-to-face services. Professional support was essential for help-seeking intentions in case of psychological distress. Therapist-assisted e-mental health services were preferred over unguided programs. Unexpectedly, assumed associations between familiarity with Web-based self-help for health purposes or “e-awareness” and intentions to use e-mental health services were weak or inconsistent. Conclusions Considering the marginal amount and heterogeneity of pilot studies focusing on public acceptability of e-mental health treatments, further research using theory-led approaches and validated measures is required to understand psychological facilitator and barriers for the implementation of innovative services into health care.

Abstract:
Purpose: Individuals with mental illnesses have higher morbidity rates and reduced life expectancy compared to the general population. Understanding how patients and providers perceive the need for prevention, as well as the barriers and beliefs that may contribute to insufficient care, are important for improving service delivery tailored to this population. Design: Cross-sectional; mixed methods. Setting: An integrated health system and a network of federally qualified health centers and safety net clinics. Participants: Interviews (n = 30) and surveys (n = 249) with primary care providers. Interviews (n = 158) and surveys (n = 160) with patients diagnosed with schizophrenia, bipolar, anxiety, or major depressive disorders. Measures: Semi-structured interviews and surveys. Analysis: Thematic analysis for qualitative data; frequencies for quantitative data. Results: More than half (n = 131, 53%) of clinicians believed patients with mental illnesses care less about preventive care than the general population, yet 88% (n = 139) of patients reported interest in improving health. Most providers (n = 216, 88%) lacked confidence that patients with mental illnesses would follow preventive recommendations; 82% (n = 129) of patients reported they would try to change lifestyles if their doctor recommended. Clinicians explained that their perception of patients’ chaotic lives and lack of interest in preventive care contributed to their fatalistic attitudes on care delivery to this population. Clinicians and patients agreed on substantial need for additional support for behavior changes. Clinicians reported providing informational support by keeping messages simple; patients reported a desire for more detailed information on reasons to complete preventive care. Patients also detailed the need for assistive and tangible support to manage behavioral health changes. Conclusions: Our results suggest a few clinical changes could help patients complete preventive care recommendations and improve health behaviors: improving clinician–patient collaboration on realistic goal setting, increasing visit time or utilizing behavioral health consultants that bridge primary and specialty mental health care, and increasing educational and tangible patient support services.

Abstract:
Increasing international migration in the context of aging populations makes a comprehensive understanding of older immigrant women’s health status and determinants of their health particularly urgent. Using Arksey and O’Malley’s framework, we conducted a scoping review to examine the available literature on the health of older immigrant women in Canada. We searched CINAHL, PsycINFO, Embase, Medline, and Cochrane databases for the period of 1990 to 2014 for Canadian-based, peer-reviewed studies on the topic. A total of 20 articles met the inclusion criteria. These articles were divided into six areas of focus: physical health; mental health; abuse; health promotion and chronic disease prevention; barriers to healthcare access and utilization; and health beliefs, behaviours, and practices. Our results show that the health of older immigrant women is affected by the interplay of various social determinants of health including the physical and social environment; economic conditions; cultural beliefs; gendered norms; and the healthcare delivery system. Our results also revealed that older immigrant women tend to have more health problems, underutilize preventive services, such as cancer screening, and experience more difficulties in accessing healthcare services.

Abstract:
AimTo investigate public health nurses’ perceptions and experiences of mental health and of the prevention of mental ill health among women postpartum, within paediatric healthcare services.BackgroundAlthough maternal health following childbirth should be a priority within primary care, it is known that women postpartum do not always receive the support they need to adapt to and cope with motherhood. Research implies that postnatal problems lack recognition and are not always acknowledged in routine practice. Few studies have been presented on this topic or from the perspective of nurses.MethodsFor this study, eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with public health nurses, and the transcribed texts were analysed through a process inspired by Burnard’s description of the four-step qualitative content analysis.FindingsThree categories – external influences on postpartum mental health, screening for and preventing postpartum mental ill health and paediatric healthcare services as a platform for support – were interpreted to reflect the nurses’ perceptions and experiences of mental health among women postpartum and of the prevention of mental ill health among women postpartum.ConclusionWe found that public health nurses can have an important role in supporting mothers’ mental health postpartum. Although caution is warranted in interpreting our results, the findings concur with those of other studies, highlighting that an equal care emphasis on both the mother and child can be an important aspect of successful support. Implementing person-centred care might be one strategy to create such an emphasis, while also promoting the mental health of new mothers. Public health nurses have a unique opportunity to support mothers’ transition into healthy motherhood, especially because they are likely to meet both mothers and children on a regular basis during the first year after birth.

Abstract:
This article reports a strengths-based intervention to support parents with mental illness and their children in adult mental health settings: “Let’s Talk About Children” (LTC) intervention. A qualitative methodology was adopted with parent participants receiving LTC in adult mental health and family services. The benefits for parents receiving LTC were described through in-depth interviews with 25 parents following the delivery of the program. Interview data identified an impact on parental self-regulation—mainly through a change in a sense of agency as a parent—and skill building, once a clearer picture of their child’s everyday life was understood. This study outlines the benefits of talking with parents about the strengths and vulnerabilities of their children during routine mental health treatment. The role for self-determination of parents in preventive interventions for children is an important consideration for mental health recovery, and it also helps to break the cycle of transgenerational mental illness within families.

Abstract:
There is increasing evidence that substance misuse among British adolescents is escalating (Miller & Plant, 1996; Sutherland & Willner, 1998). Swadi (1992) found that, among adolescents aged 12–17 years referred to mental health services, the prevalence of drug use was 13.1% (16.3% among boys and 9.3% among girls). Despite this relatively high prevalence, there are very few organised treatment services for adolescents in the UK. Instead, there is extensive emphasis on prevention even though there is no universal agreement on what prevention can achieve. This approach also overlooks the fact that a significant number of adolescents fail to respond to preventive measures in any form.

Abstract:
Abstract Previous research suggests that residence in non-metropolitan areas is associated with lower access to preventive care and poorer health. However, this research has been largely restricted to the general population, despite data demonstrating disparities in health status and access to healthcare services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). The current study examined several hypotheses involving the effects of rurality on access to preventive healthcare and services and health status: (1) individuals in non-metropolitan areas will have lower preventive healthcare utilization, (2) individuals in non-metropolitan areas will have poorer health outcomes, and (3) individuals in non-metropolitan areas will have poorer access to services. The current study uses data from the National Core Indicators (NCI) Adult Consumer Survey 2015–2016: Final Report which included Rural-Urban Commuting Area (RUCA) Codes for the first time. Results of logistic regression suggest that, despite connection to disability services, the health status and access to preventive healthcare services of people with IDD generally follow patterns similar to those observed in the general population. Namely, people with IDD in non-metropolitan areas have decreased access to healthcare services, preventive healthcare utilization, and health status. Despite some exceptions, it appears effects of rurality are not completely mitigated by current state and federal efforts.

Abstract:
For some time it has been recognised that death and non-death loss events are commonly associated with the onset of psychiatric illnesses, especially affective conditions (e.g. Murphy, 1982). Studies have shown that counselling targeted at high risk grievers can significantly reduce their psychological and psychosomatic manifestations of grief, with an associated reduction in the use of statutory services (Raphael, 1977; Parkes, 1980). Bereavement counselling thus offers one of the few opportunities to implement preventive psychiatry.
