Care Fragmentation

Abstract Fragmented healthcare causes information loss, duplicative tests, and unwieldy self-care regimens. These challenges may be amplified among older, high-risk patients with co-occurring mental health conditions (MHC). We compared healthcare fragmentation for chronic physical conditions among Veterans with and without MHC (depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, anxiety, personality disorder, or psychosis based on ICD-9 codes). Sample included Veterans who were □65y, at high risk for 1-year hospitalization, and had □4 non-MHC visits during FY14. Visits were covered by Veterans Affairs (VA), VA-purchased care (both from VA Corporate Data Warehouse), or Medicare Parts A/B (claims data from VA Information Resource Center). Outcomes were two fragmentation measures calculated in FY15: 1) non-mental health provider count, where a higher number indicates more fragmentation, and 2) Usual Provider of Care (UPC), the proportion of care with the most frequently seen provider, where a higher number indicates less fragmentation. We used Poisson regression and GLM with binomial distribution and logit link to test the association between MHC status and fragmentation, controlling for sociodemographic characteristics (e.g., age), medical comorbidity, and driving distance to VA. Of the 125,481 Veterans included, 47.3% had 1+ MHC. Compared to older, high-risk Veterans without MHC, those with MHC saw fewer providers (pseudo R2 = 0.02) and had a higher UPC (more concentrated care; OR = 1.07). Within the VA, older, high-risk Veterans with MHC do not experience greater healthcare fragmentation. Further research is needed to determine if this is due to different needs, underuse, or appropriate use of healthcare across the groups.

College And University

Very little evidence addresses college students’ perceptions of mental health and supportive services available to assist them with being academically successful since the COVID-19 pandemic began. This is also true for comparing community college students and university students. This study examines the concepts of how COVID-19 has impacted overall student-perceptions of their mental health. Data on perceptions was collected from both community college and university students. A total of 932 students completed a survey regarding their views of mental health, academic success and supportive services Relationships between perceived mental health and supportive services rendered significant findings. Perceived differences between perceived mental health and supportive services were also significantly significant in the data. Recommendations for future research is also explored.

College Classes

This is a tough time for everyone. College students have been asked to leave campus and finish the semester remotely, which may not be something they are used to. While this is a hard adjustment for most college students, this change may be more difficult for young adult college students with mental health conditions. Since trying to finish the semester remotely can be a challenge, we’ve collected some tips that may be helpful. Many of these tips are adapted from our Supporting College Students with Mental Health Conditions in the Wake of COVID-19 here on our website. Michelle Mullen also held a webinar Are You a College Student with a Mental Health Condition? Managing the Wake of COVID: Strategies & Tools to Finish Your Semester that you can find here on our website.
