    Characterization of the Stanford Integrated Psychosocial Assessment for Transplant (SIPAT) in Lung Transplant Candidates
    (Springer, 2022-03) Chernyak, Yelena; Henderson, Danielle R.; Teh, Lisa; Powell, Anna-Leigh; Hinton, Kendra E.; Hage, Chadi A.; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    The SIPAT is a standardized measure for pre-transplant psychosocial evaluation. Previous SIPAT studies utilized a relatively small lung transplant sample and only included listed patients. This study characterized the SIPAT in 147 lung transplant candidates to better elucidate its utility. The average score corresponded to a minimally acceptable rating and nearly half of the patients had relative or absolute contraindications. Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) patients scored more favorably than non-ILD patients (U = 7.69, p < .05). The Total (β = − .05, SE = .018, p < .01), Social Support Subscale (β = − .133, SE = .058, p < .05), and Psychosocial Stability and Psychopathology Subscale (β = − .103, SE = .040, p < .05) significantly predicted listing status. The SIPAT has a unique profile in lung transplant candidates and demonstrated utility for guiding transplant decisions. Future research should examine which lung transplant outcomes are significantly associated with SIPAT scores.

    COVID-19 highlights the pitfalls of reliance on the carceral system as a response to addiction
    (Elsevier, 2021-03) Zielinski, Melissa J.; Hinton, Kendra E.; Bull, Chelsey E.; Psychiatry, School of Medicine
    People who are incarcerated are likely to meet criteria for at least one substance use disorder and need access to treatment. Access to such interventions was limited prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and has almost certainly been restricted further due to implementation of procedures intended to stop the spread of the virus. In this brief commentary, we discuss how COVID-19 has revealed the already tenuous access that people who are incarcerated have to behavioral health services, and the pitfalls of reliance on the U.S. carceral system as a response to addiction.
