  • This Element addresses questions about social movement effectiveness and the strategies and methods that are most likely to achieve policy change. It examines the nature of peace movements through a comparative analysis of three major movements, focusing on their policy impacts. It assesses social movement dynamics and the mechanisms through which movements gain influence. The purpose is to mine campaign experiences from the past to develop action guidelines for more effective citizen activism against war and nuclear weapons in the future. The Element examines non-institutional and institutional forms of politics and the relationship between the two, and how they can be mutually reinforcing. It traces examples of inside-outside approaches within the three peace movements and their effects. Lessons from the analysis and case studies are applied in the final section to proposals for a new global freeze movement to stop the emerging international arms race.

  • Objective

    We implemented a parent–teacher Vanderbilt agreement program to increase return rates of Vanderbilt assessment scales for children in our primary care practice, and compared the assessment return rate before and after agreement signature.

    Methods

    We retrospectively reviewed children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who had a signed Vanderbilt agreement and were under continuous care at our clinic. Return rates were compared 1 year before and 1 year after the agreement date.

    Results

    Among 195 children, prior to the agreement, 71% returned teacher assessments, and 59% returned parent forms; after the intervention, assessment rates were not significantly different (76%, p = .255; and 65%, p = .185, respectively). The median number of returned assessments increased after the agreement.

    Conclusions

    Lack of documented parent and teacher Vanderbilt assessments remain a barrier to appropriate management of ADHD. Improving the rate of assessments returned is an important outcome for treating ADHD in the primary care setting.

  • Background

    During the COVID-19 pandemic, the use of telemedicine as a way to reduce COVID-19 infections was noted and consequently deregulated. However, the degree of telemedicine regulation varies from country to country, which may alter the widespread use of telemedicine. This study aimed to clarify the telepsychiatry regulations for each collaborating country/region before and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Methods

    We used snowball sampling within a global network of international telepsychiatry experts. Thirty collaborators from 17 different countries/regions responded to a questionnaire on barriers to the use and implementation of telepsychiatric care, including policy factors such as regulations and reimbursement at the end of 2019 and as of May 2020.

    Results

    Thirteen of 17 regions reported a relaxation of regulations due to the pandemic; consequently, all regions surveyed stated that telepsychiatry was now possible within their public healthcare systems. In some regions, restrictions on prescription medications allowed via telepsychiatry were eased, but in 11 of the 17 regions, there were still restrictions on prescribing medications via telepsychiatry. Lower insurance reimbursement amounts for telepsychiatry consultations v. in-person consultations were reevaluated in four regions, and consequently, in 15 regions telepsychiatry services were reimbursed at the same rate (or higher) than in-person consultations during the COVID-19 pandemic.

    Conclusions

    Our results confirm that, due to COVID-19, the majority of countries surveyed are altering telemedicine regulations that had previously restricted the spread of telemedicine. These findings provide information that could guide future policy and regulatory decisions, which facilitate greater scale and spread of telepsychiatry globally.
