The Program for Public Psychiatry: state-university collaboration in Colorado.

A major focus of state-university collaboration programs in psychiatry has been providing services and manpower from the university to the public mental health system, which in turns provides valuable educational experiences to the university. The Program for Public Psychiatry, a state-university collaboration program in Colorado, was founded on a 25-year relationship between the department of psychiatry at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center and the Colorado Division of Mental Health. The program has enabled Colorado's two state hospitals and most of its urban community mental health centers to almost completely fill previously vacant psychiatric positions. The collaboration has expanded to include programs for forensic psychiatry and developmental disabilities, as well as to fund educational and research missions in developing the public psychiatric work force.

Panic disorder among American Indians: a descriptive study.

Little is known about panic disorder among American Indians. In a pilot project involving two Northwest Coast Indian villages, community health representatives screened the population for panic disorder, substance abuse, and major depression using DSM-III criteria. Accompanying the screening were subsequent patient education and further evaluation by a psychiatrist, a social worker, and primary care physicians. Of fifty community residents who agreed to take the screening examination, seven were found who met diagnostic criteria for panic disorder. Four of the seven had symptoms of alcohol abuse which complicated the course and diagnosis of panic disorder, and individuals with panic disorder reported more than twice the lifetime prevalence of depression in comparison with other community members. Limitations of the study and refinements of study design are needed in future study discussions.
