Hybrid model free psychiatry clinic reduces barriers to mental health care

(2024)

Examine the number of appointments fulfilled within the past year, contrasting between the behavioral health clinic at Willow Free Clinic and the newly introduced hybrid model. Our hypothesis suggests that implementing the hybrid model at the behavioral health clinic will lead to an increase in the number of patients identified as screening positive and subsequently accessing care.

Assessing Resilience as a Mediator in the Association between Positive Childhood Experiences and Psychological Distress among Health Professions Students

(2024)

Studies in recent years widely suggest that adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) may have a detrimental impact on the health of individuals.Less is known about this association among health professions students in particular. One recent study showed that ACEs may be associated with engaging in risk behaviors among medical students (Sciolla et al., 2019).In contrast, fewer studies have examined positive childhood experiences (PCEs) as a possible protective factor with respect to health outcomes such as psychological distress. Furthermore, research on the mechanisms that link PCEs to outcomes among professional health students is scant, although studies have suggested that resilience may also protect professional health students from experiencing psychological distress (Bacchi et al., 2017; Clark et al., 2023).
