“…Ethical standards dictate the delivery of a behavioral treatment that at least meets minimal standards of care for patients on placebo or medications of unknown efficacy (Freedman, 1987;Levine, 1985;Miller, 2000a;Miller and Brody, 2002a). However, achieving this level of care does not necessarily require intensive behavioral treatment, as there is a large literature documenting the efficacy of brief and minimal treatments, particularly for substance abusers with less severe conditions (Babor, 1994;Miller, 2000b;Wilk et al, 1997).…”

Behavioral therapy platforms have become virtual requirements in pharmacotherapy trials due to their utility in reducing noise variability, preventing differential medication adherence and protocol attrition, enhancing statistical power and addressing ethical issues in placebo-controlled trials. Selecting an appropriate behavioral platform for a particular trial requires study-specific tailoring, taking into account both the stage of development of the medication being evaluated, as well as the specific strengths and weaknesses of a broad array of available empirically supported behavioral therapies and the range of their possible targets (e.g., enhancing medication adherence, preventing attrition, addressing co-morbid problems, fostering abstinence, and targeting specific weaknesses of the pharmacologic agent). Choosing a suitable behavioral platform also requires consideration of the characteristics of the population to be treated, stage of scientific knowledge regarding the medication's effects, appropriate balance of internal and external validity, and consideration of potential ceiling effects. Available manualized behavioral treatments are reviewed, noting their strengths and limitations as behavioral therapy platforms for pharmacotherapy trials and as potential concomitant therapies in clinical practice.

“…This paper will build upon previous research by assessing the association between communication and parents' perceptions of satisfaction/quality in a national sample of families identified in primary care settings with psychosocial concerns. Given supporting theory [29][30][31] and existing empirical evidence, [25] it was hypothesized that most parents would feel positively about their child's provider, and that practitioners' increased use of empathy, concern, and collaboration would be associated with higher ratings of satisfaction and quality of care.…”

Objective: The objective of the present paper was to determine the association between parentprovider communication and parent ratings of satisfaction and quality of care for a group of parents of children identified with a psychosocial problem. Methods:A sample of 804 parents of children with psychosocial concerns enrolled in the Child Behavior Study (CBS) was used for the present analyses. As part of the CBS, parents of children with psychosocial problems answered questions that assessed parent-provider communication and parent ratings of satisfaction and quality of care.Results: Overall, parents reported good communication with their child's provider. Eighty-two percent of parents were very satisfied with the care received and 68% reported a very high quality of care. Parent-provider communication (e.g., collaboration and mutual understanding) was strongly related to parental reports of both satisfaction and quality of care.Conclusions: Parent-provider communication is an important correlate of parental report of satisfaction and quality of care. Involvement of parents in the treatment planning process was particularly important in determining satisfaction and quality ratings within this sample.Practice Implications: When working with families with identified psychosocial concerns, the use of collaboration and an empathic style by providers may enhance the quality of care parents report receiving from their primary care clinicians.

“…Change in social networks may positively influence adolescents' health behaviors, leading them to seek health care more quickly than they might otherwise [119,120,121,76]. There is also substantial evidence that brief interventions (BIs) can have a significant impact on problem drinking [122,140,86,48,123,140]. These BIs are control initiatives such as taxation, limiting access, and drinking and driving laws.…”
