Abstract: The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the critical components associated with implementing integrated mental health care services in rural VA community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs). In-person semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 health care providers and staff within a year after placing a trained advanced practice nurse (APN) to provide mental health/substance abuse (MH/SA) care at 2 rural CBOCs in the southeastern United States. Four raters independently evaluated interview transcripts and conducted content analysis to summarize the interview results. The results indicate that key contextual factors related to leadership, staff attitudes and beliefs, and unique organizational factors of the clinic and the community can affect the success of such clinical innovations. In addition to providing descriptive information about the attitudes, beliefs, and experiences of CBOC personnel regarding implementation of integrated MH/SA services using APNs, the study findings suggest several domains that could be explored in future studies of integrated mental health service delivery to rural veterans through primary care.

TL;DR: It was found that urban veterans had substantially better physical HRQOL scores than their rural counterparts and that these differences persisted over the study period, and that rural soldiers are overrepresented in current conflicts may contribute to these disparities.

The Process of Knowledge Transfer: A Diachronic Analysis of Stickiness
TL;DR: In this paper, a process model of knowledge transfer is proposed, which identifies stages of transfer and factors that are expected to correlate with difficulty at different stages of the transfer, and measures of stickiness are developed for each stage to explore the predictive power of different factors at different levels of the process.
