Evidence Based Health Care

BackgroundArguments for and against evidence-based psychiatry have mostly centred on its value for clinical practice and teaching. Now, however, use of the same paradigm in evaluating health care has generated new problems.AimsTo outline the development of evidence-based health care; to summarise the main critiques of this approach; to review the evidence now beingemployed to evaluate mental health care; and to consider how the evidence base might be improved.MethodThe following sources were monitored: pub ications on evidence-based psychiatry and health care since 1990; reports of randomised trials and meta-analytic reviews to the end of 2002; and official British publications on mental health policy.ResultsAlthough evidence-based health care is now being promulgated as a rational basis for mental health planning in Britain, its contributions to service evaluation have been distinctly modest. Only 10% of clinical trials and meta-analyses have been focused on effectiveness of services, and many reviews proved inconclusive.ConclusionsThe current evidence-based approach is overly reliant on meta-analytic reviews, and is more applicable to specific treatments than to the care agencies that control theirdelivery. A much broader evidence base is called for, extending to studies in primary health care and the evaluation of preventive techniques.

Evidence Based Health Care

Epistemonikos.org is a database of resources that provides evidence-based health care information in a central depository to assist people in making decisions for clinical or health policy questions. This database is provided free of charge and is put together by a nonprofit organization based out of Santiago, Chile, formed by individuals associated with different institutions. The database is updated continuously, by systematically searching different databases and by utilizing web technologies to store the information. The purpose and goal of this resource is to provide quick access to systematic reviews and broad combinations of reviews and primary studies in health care. Additionally, it is a multilingual database available in nine different languages, and titles and abstracts are translated and can easily be searched by providers whose primary language may not be English.

Cognitive Information

This chapter addresses role of cognitive, information processing and learning mechanisms underlying children’s acquisition of quantifiers in natural language. We discuss the cognitive mechanisms that provide content to quantificational expressions, constraints on possible quantifier meanings, and the role of syntax in identifying a novel word as quantificational. We also examine the syntax and semantics of quantifiers in development, examining interactions between multiple scope bearing expressions in a single sentence. We explore the grammatical and psycholinguistic constraints at play in shaping children’s acquisition and use of quantificational expressions, highlighting factors that can mask children’s competence in this domain.

Cognitive Information

In the prodromal phase of schizophrenia, severe alterations of the visual appearance of the environment have been found, accompanied by a state of intense anxiety. The present study considers the possibility that these alterations really exist in the appearance of objects, but that healthy people do not see them. The image of the world that we see is continuously deformed and fragmented by foreshortenings, partial overlapping, and so on and must be constantly reassembled and interpreted; otherwise, it could change so much that we would hardly recognize it. Since pleasure has been found to be involved in visual and cognitive information processing, the possibility is considered that anhedonia (the reduction of the ability to feel pleasure) might interfere with the correct reconstruction and interpretation of the image of the environment and alter its appearance. The possibility is also considered that these alterations might make the environment hostile, might at times evoke the sensation of being trapped by a predator, and might be the cause of the anxiety that accompanies them. According to some authors, they might also induce delusional ideas, in an attempt to restore meaning in a world that has become chaotic and frightening.
