“…Third, people with chronic conditions and disabilities commonly underreport symptoms of poor mental health, scoring higher on social desirability bias measures than those without disabilities. (40,41) Finally, the K6 Scale only measures symptoms of psychological distress experienced in the last 30 days. (30) As a result, it may capture emotional responses to short-term stressors in addition to symptoms of longer-term psychological distress.…”

Objective: To investigate whether food insecurity helps explain the association between income and psychological distress and if its role differs by disability status. Design: Using 2011-2017 National Health Interview Survey cross-sectional data (N=102,543), we conducted linear regression models, fully interacted with disability status, to estimate the association between income-to-poverty ratio (IPR) (<1, 1-<2, 2-<4, ≥ 4), and psychological distress (Kessler 6 (K6) Scale, range: 0-24). Base models adjusted for sociodemographic factors. We then added food security (secure, low, very low), interacted with disability, and conducted post-estimation adjusted Wald tests. Setting: USA. Participants: Nationally representative sample of non-institutionalized adults 18 years and older. Results: The association between income and psychological distress was stronger for people with disabilities. Compared to those in the highest income category (IPR≥4), poor individuals (IPR<1) with and without disabilities scored 2.10 (95% CI=1.74,2.46) and 0.81 (95% CI=0.69,0.93) points higher on the K6 Scale, respectively. Accounting for food insecurity reduced the estimated income disparity in psychological distress significantly more among individuals with disabilities (0.96 points or 46%) than without disabilities (0.34 points or 42%), decreasing the difference in the income disparity between those with and without disabilities by 48% (0.62 points). Further, food insecurity more strongly predicted psychological distress for individuals with disabilities independent of socioeconomic disadvantage. Conclusions: Food insecurity plays a more important role in shaping patterns of psychological distress for people with disabilities, explaining more of the association between income and psychological distress among those with than without disabilities. Improving food security may reduce mental health disparities.

“…It is possible if not likely that candidates undergoing comprehensive evaluation responded to some psychometric test items in a favorable manner, suggesting that some psychometric test results were likely influenced by social desirability bias 43 . Additionally, due to the small number and complexity of recipients at our center, and among VCA recipients in general, it is difficult to conduct a comprehensive examination of clinical outcomes following VCA in order to delineate the potential role of psychosocial factors on VCA outcomes.…”

Vascularized composite allograft, including hand transplantation (HT), has gained wider usage as a reconstructive treatment over the past 30 years. HT recipients face unique psychosocial challenges compared to their solid organ and/or bone marrow transplant counterparts. Accordingly, the psychosocial evaluation among HT candidates continues to evolve, leaving a lack of consensus as to the critical psychosocial domains and psychometric testing instruments to help evaluate individuals considering HT. The present manuscript describes the psychosocial evaluation process within the Duke HT program, which been contacted by 80 potential candidates since 2014.The Duke HT evaluation process incorporates a comprehensive psychosocial assessment within domains including personality, cognitive function, mood, behavioral adherence, social support, and substance use history, among others. Our experience underscores the potential utility of collecting thorough psychosocial evaluations, supplemented by psychometric test data, to comprehensively assess potential HT candidates.
