The New York Times  online

2015-06-01

The Huffington Post  online

2015-05-02

Does the U.S. need more “asylums” to treat or house persons with severe mental illness? A recent article in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) authored by three ethicists calls for improved psychiatric care by returning to psychiatric “asylums” of the past (“asylums” that are “safe, modern, and humane”). Persons with mental illness are now straining the capacity of our jails and prisons, hospital emergency departments, nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

Screening for Alcohol Use and Misuse in Older Adults: Using the Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening TestGeriatric Version.


American Journal of Nursing

2008 The Short Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test–Geriatric Version (SMAST-G) is often used in outpatient settings to detect "at-risk" alcohol use, alcohol abuse, or alcoholism in older adults. As the number of older adults in the United States grows, those who develop problems of abuse and a dependence on alcohol will grow as well. The availability of accurate, easy-to-use screening tools to detect people in need of counseling can increase the number of older adults whose lives can be improved and even lengthened. To watch a free online video of a nurse administering the SMAST-G, go to http://links.lww.com/A271.

The SATOL Project


Journal of Evidence-Based Social Work

2008 This paper describes the development, implementation and assessment of an innovative approach to the dissemination of evidence-based research to clinical supervision through the use of Web-based technology. The Substance Abuse Treatment On-line Library: Focus on Clinical Supervision, known as the SATOL Project, was developed by an interdisciplinary faculty group at New York University. The findings of this study document the positive impact of SATOL in helping supervisors feel more capable of mentoring and supporting their staff, in better assessing and evaluating the quality of services provided by their supervisees, and in applying empirical evidence to their daily clinical supervision practice. Limitations of the project include the short time-frame and small sample size.
