  • Addressing the Need for Mental Health Screening of Newly Resettled Refugees: A Pilot Project.
    Journal of primary care & community health, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kelly Polcher, Susan J. Calloway
    Abstract:

    Background and Purpose: Refugees resettling to the United States are at increased risk for mental Health disorders, which can lead to difficulty with adaptation and poor Health outcomes. Standardized mental Health Screening of refugees is often neglected at primary care and community Health clinics. A pilot project aimed to initiate early mental Health Screening for newly resettled adult refugees was implemented at a community Health center in Fargo, North Dakota. Methods: Current refugee Screening processes were evaluated to determine appropriate timing for refugee mental Health Screening. This took into consideration time, staffing, interpreter availability and the refugee “honeymoon” phase following resettlement. The Refugee Health Screener–15 (RHS-15) was identified as an efficient, valid, and reliable tool for assessing emotional distress in this population and was integrated into refugee Health Screening practices.

    American journal of obstetrics and gynecology, 2013
    Co-Authors: Anna Maria Abadir, Ariella Lang, Talia Klein, Haim A. Abenhaim
    Abstract:

    Objective Considerable time and resources are allocated to carry out qualitative research. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the availability of qualitative research on women's Health Screening and assess its influence on Screening practice guidelines in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Study Design Medline, CINHAL, and WEB of Science databases were used to identify the availability of qualitative research conducted in the past 15 years on 3 different women's Health Screening topics: cervical cancer Screening, breast cancer Screening, and prenatal first-trimester Screening. Key national practice guidelines on women's Health Screening were selected using the National Guideline Clearinghouse web site. Bibliometric analysis was used to determine the frequency of qualitative references cited in the guidelines. Results A total of 272 qualitative research papers on women's Health Screening was identified: 109 on cervical cancer Screening, 104 on breast cancer Screening, and 59 on prenatal first-trimester Screening. The qualitative studies focused on Health care provider perspectives as well as ethical, ethnographic, psychological, and social issues surrounding Screening. Fifteen national clinical practice guidelines on women's Health Screening were identified. A total of 943 references was cited, only 2 of which comprised of qualitative research cited by only 1 clinical practice guideline. Conclusion Although there is considerable qualitative research that has been carried out on women's Health Screening, its incorporation into clinical practice guidelines is minimal. Further exploration of the disconnect between the two is important for enhancing knowledge translation of qualitative research within clinical practice.
