  • Title: Some methodological issues in consultation-liaison psychiatry research.
    Author: Mitchell WD, Thompson TL.
    Journal: Gen Hosp Psychiatry; 1985 Jan; 7(1):66-72. PubMed ID: 3967826.
    Abstract:
    This is a research methodologic design model that may be useful to consultation-liaison psychiatrists. It is intended to facilitate such researchers in setting up and executing carefully controlled studies of the effectiveness (in psychiatric, medical, surgical, functional, cost, or other areas) of consultation-liaison interventions. The specific variables discussed are areas of particular interest to the authors, but many other variables may be readily substituted into this basic model. The design may be expanded or contracted relatively easily as would be appropriate for particular projects. The overall purpose of this paper is, hopefully, to serve as a catalyst for consultation-liaison psychiatrists to consider such research in their academic settings and to foster increased discussion and critical thinking regarding such research. The authors consider such research efforts important for the future regarding the scientific basis, proven effectiveness, and funding of consultation-liaison and general hospital psychiatry.
