“…Clinicians in our facility reported favorable outcomes in relation to the concept of translational science and the integration of research with practice but lacked experience doing so, a trend that has been reported elsewhere. 35 They were largely unfamiliar with the measures used in the assessment, which in theory should not prevent them from interpreting a report based on data from such measures. However, it has been well-documented that mental health and addiction clinicians, including medical psychiatrists, are slow to adopt new practices.…”

“…This outcome did not follow a standardized assessment. It was adapted from Bourdon et al 35 and included 5 questions related to length of being a clinician (in years), experience with the measures in the assessment (4-point scale from “I have never heard of this assessment” to “I have given this assessment in the past year and/or utilized results from this assessment”), perceived self-competency discussing results from the assessment with patients (4-point Likert scale from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”), and experience with psychological assessments (4-point Likert scale from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”). There were also 3 open-ended questions that asked clinicians to explain any experience that they had with the standardized measures listed as well as with assessments during their clinical training and practice.…”

“…This outcome included questions adapted from Bourdon et al 35 that were related to the clinicians’ views on translational science. Questions ranged from assessing views on whether translation between research and practice is important for disorders of addiction to querying which disorders would benefit the most from such translation.…”

Effective translation of data to inform real-time patient care is lacking in addiction inpatient settings. The current study presents the optimization of an assessment report that is used by clinicians to individualize treatment. A multi-aim, iterative approach was taken, utilizing an implementation science perspective to arrive at a final version of the assessment report. This occurred at a small inpatient addiction treatment facility. Participants were all available clinical staff (N = 7; female = 71%). A quantitative survey was used for aims 1 and 2 to, respectively, assess motives and context around the report as well as evaluate its design. Aim 3 focused on optimization via semi-structured interviews. Descriptive and modified content analyses were utilized appropriately across aims. This resulted in five versions of the assessment report being created between February 2021 and August 2022, the most recent of which was adapted into patients’ electronic medical records. We discuss each version of the report in depth, including clinicians’ iterative feedback and researchers’ perceived barriers to this translational process. The response rate was 64.3%. The current study highlights a replicable approach for optimizing the translation of assessment data into treatment for patients with disorders of addiction as well as an assessment report that could be utilized by similar facilities with a naturally low sample size.

Background: Psychiatric genetics has had limited success in translational efforts. A thorough understanding of the present state of translation in this field will be useful in the facilitation and assessment of future translational progress. Purpose: A narrative literature review was conducted. Combinations of 3 groups of terms were searched in EBSCOhost, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The review occurred in multiple steps, including abstract collection, inclusion/exclusion criteria review, coding, and analysis of included papers. Results: One hundred and fourteen articles were analyzed for the narrative review. Across those, 4 bottlenecks were noted that, if addressed, may provide insights and help improve and increase translation in the field of psychiatric genetics. These 4 bottlenecks are emphasizing linear translational frameworks, relying on molecular genomic findings, prioritizing certain psychiatric disorders, and publishing more reviews than experiments. Conclusions: These entwined bottlenecks are examined with one another. Awareness of these bottlenecks can inform stakeholders who work to translate and/or utilize psychiatric genetic information. Potential solutions include utilizing nonlinear translational frameworks as well as a wider array of psychiatric genetic information (e.g., family history and gene-environment interplay) in this area of research, expanding which psychiatric disorders are considered for translation, and when possible, conducting original research. Researchers are urged to consider how their research is translational in the context of the frameworks, genetic information, and psychiatric disorders discussed in this review. At a broader level, these efforts should be supported with translational efforts in funding and policy shifts.
