STUDENTS: Ph.D. Program in Applied Developmental Science at Colorado State University

The Department of Human Development and Family Studies at Colorado State University announces a new Ph.D. Program in Applied Developmental Science (ADS). Interested students are invited to submit their applications to the program by January 15, 2010. Additional information can be found at http://www.hdfs.cahs.colostate.edu/grad/.

The Graduate Program in Applied Developmental Science (ADS) at Colorado State University offers graduate training in research and its application to issues that affect the quality of life of individuals, families, and communities. Human Development and Family Studies offers an interdisciplinary approach to development across the lifespan leading to the Ph.D. degree in ADS.

Faculty Research Areas
The ADS program is served by 14 full-time graduate faculty in the Department of Human Development and Family Studies plus 9 affiliate faculty. The ADS faculty's research interests and expertise encompass the entire lifespan and embrace a range of interests at the intersection of basic and applied research. Students are asked to identify potential faculty mentors as part of the application process.

• Risk, Resilience, and Developmental Psychopathology

Faculty pursue research programs related to why at-risk individuals have favorable outcomes, processes related to developmental psychopathology and atypical development, the nature of risktaking behaviors, and developmental disabilities.

• Treatment, Intervention, and Prevention Science

Most faculty in the ADS program are concerned with translational research: How to devise effective intervention and treatment strategies that are based on empirical evidence and careful evaluations. Such endeavors encompass, for example, school-based programs, substance abuse prevention for youth and treatment for young adults, programs to prevent frailty in old age, Extension programs, interventions that promote work/family balance, and evaluations of family therapy. Policy analysis also is a key part of prevention science.

• Emotion, Regulation, and Relational Processes

Socioemotional processes are a focus of ADS faculty research (e.g., emotional development; attachment) as are various aspects of regulation including self regulation and emotion regulation. Such processes are essential to school readiness and success, which is a common thread of several faculty research programs. Relational processes include a focus on parenting, family caregiving, and family/school linkages.

• Adult Development and Aging

Several faculty focus their research on emerging adulthood and development in midlife and the later part of the lifespan, as well as intergenerational family relationships. Developmental processes include healthy aging, awareness of age-related change, wisdom, and self-regulation changes across the adult years.

• Cultural Context and Diversity

Consistent with HDFS's basis in ecological theory, many faculty conduct research on cultural influences, on gender and power dynamics in families, and on other forms of diversity. Also, multiple graduate courses are infused with content related to culture, ethnicity, and gender. Several journal articles describe our infusion model, and the department has been honored with awards for our innovations related to diversity.

• Focus on Methodological Rigor

ADS faculty members have expertise in the application of sophisticated research methods and analytical techniques to basic research questions (e.g., dynamic systems methods, multilevel modeling, structural equation modeling, daily diary methods, qualitative methods) as well as to real-world problems of program evaluation. Such expertise is invaluable as students learn to conduct research on complex social problems.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: January 15

INFO: Death of Dr. Gene Cohen

I realize that many of you have already received this information from other sources, and apologize for the cross-posting.  However, I wish to make sure that Division 20 members have received word of the recent death of Dr. Gene Cohen, a true pioneer and leader in the mental health and aging field.

 

Gene Cohen was the geriatric psychiatrist who basically built the mental health and aging research program at NIMH, beginning in 1974 or 1975 as the director of what first was called the Center for Studies of the Mental Health of the Aging, and today is represented by the NIMH Geriatrics Research Branch.  He recruited to NIMH such gerontologists as Barry Lebowitz and Nancy Miller, and (somewhat later) myself.  In 1988, he moved to NIA to become Deputy Director, where from 1991-1993 he served as the Acting Director.  He was President of GSA in 1996-1997, and as you can read in various obituaries and tributes, in addition to his intellectual contributions has been a pioneer and moving force in the formation and building up of many other organizational structures and publication outlets that have become critical components in the mental health and aging field.

 

The GSA website has posted an obituary written by his son, Alex Cohen, at:  http://www.geron.org/cohenobituary.pdf

               

You can access the obituary in the Washington Post at: 

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/11/10/AR2009111018634.html?sub=AR             

 

The American Association for Geriatric Psychiatry has posted a tribute at:  http://www.aagponline.org/news/pressreleases.asp?viewfull=138

 

There is a biographical sketch on the website of the Center for Aging, Health and Humanities, which he headed at George Washington University Medical Center:  http://www.gwumc.edu/cahh/about/cohen.htm

INFO : Data needed for a meta-analysis on the relationship between subjective memory and memory performance

Dear colleagues,

We are conducting a meta-analysis on the relation between beliefs that a person shares about his/her memory capacity and his/her memory performances. For this purpose, we are looking for any unpublished (or in press) manuscripts or data (as well as doctoral dissertations) that contains a measure of the relationship between these variables. We are interested in any measure than can be used in order to evaluate memory self-efficacy (Memory Self-efficacy Questionnaire, performance prediction, “Capacity” subscale of the Metamemory in Adulthood Questionnaire, “Remembering Past Events” subscale of the Memory Functioning Questionnaire, and any other subjective measures and self-assessment of memory) with the exception of Frequency of forgetting assessments. In any case such measure must be associated with a memory performance assessment, whatever it is.

If you have such data, I would highly appreciate if you could make them available to us. We need information about the sample and study design as well as a description of the memory self-efficacy measure(s) and memory performance task(s) and a correlation table with all dependent and independent variables of interest (if no correlation table available, you can send any statistical test results).

IMPORTANT : We made a previous call for unpublished data in October 2007. Thus, you may have already sent data for inclusion in this meta-analysis. In this case, please do not reply to this new call. However, if you have new data that could be included in the meta-analysis, we would greatly appreciate your contribution.

If you want to contribute data to our meta-analysis, please send them to Marine Beaudoin  (marine.beaudoin@univ-savoie.fr) before November 20, 2009.

Thank you very much for your cooperation,

Re: Medicare Payment Changes for Psychological Services in 2010

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have announced
changes in 2010 to Medicare's payments for the practice expense portion
of numerous services including those commonly billed by psychologists.
Although the exact amount varies for each service, we expect Medicare
payments for psychologica services to be reduced on average by 7% based
on the practice expense changes. We recognize that this reduction is a
considerable loss for psychologists. We are providing information below
to help members understand why CMS is making this change in how it will
pay for Medicare services next year. Psychologists should also know that
they are not the only Medicare providers facing these changes; many
other specialties including cardiology, nuclear medicine, oncology,
radiology, social work, and urology will also see significant reductions
in practice expense in 2010.

What the practice expense values represent

The practice expense values are one part of the Medicare reimbursement
formula and represent the costs attributed to providing a service. The
practice expenses values have two components: direct and indirect.
Direct expenses are those associated with a specific service; for
example, booklets or plates that are used during testing. Indirect
expenses are incurred regardless of the service being provided such as
administrative staff salaries, utilities, computers, and rent. Indirect
expenses are based on data that considers the typical costs per year and
the numbers of hours per year that a practice operates.

Why the practice expense values are changing in 2010

In 2005 CMS revised its methodology for calculating practice expense
values, an action that stemmed in part from requirements under the
Balanced Budget Refinement Act of 1999 and was designed to make practice
expense values more specific to the service provided. The impacts from
that change have been phased-in over the past three years with the
transition scheduled to conclude with the 2010 fee schedule. Under the
new methodology, practice expense payments for psychological services
were reduced by about 2% each year from 2006 through 2009.

Amid concerns that CMS was using outdated information a multi-specialty
survey was launched in 2007 - 2008 to obtain current data about the
indirect costs of providing services. The survey was a joint effort
among the American Medical Association, APA, and fifty other physician
and non-physician organizations. None of the organizations had a role in
the survey's design or administration. Independent research firms
collected and analyzed the surve data which was then sent to CMS for use
in the calculation of practice expense values. Prior to the
multi-specialty survey, there was no baseline indirec practice expense
data for a number of specialties including psychology. Since 1998
psychologists' overhead expenses per-hour had
been cross-walked to those reported by psychiatrists. The recent survey
provides more specific indirect cost data for each specialty, including
psychology. CMS will now make payment determinations based on the survey
data that more accurately reflects the indirect costs associated with
practice expense. For psychology, the survey data indicates that
indirect practice expenses are lower than what had been previously
assumed under the cross-walk to psychiatry.

APAPO utilized the services of its actuary to review the practice
expense data obtained in the survey. After confirming the validity of
the data our actuary noted some possibilities why the survey results
indicated that psychologists had low indirect practice expenses.
Psychologists tend to have small practices with few administrative and
clinical staff. Also, in response to the economic downturn over the past
few years psychologists have likely improved their productivity and/or
reduced spending for items such as technology (e.g., computers,
software) and office supplies.

How the practice expense changes differ among services

Not all psychological services will see the same rate of change in their
practice expense values because of the way the values are
calculated. The practice expense value for a code is based on multiple
factors used to calculate both the direct and indirect costs of the
service.
Factors included in the formula used by CMS are:

Direct Costs

* Supplies, equipment, clinical staff time/cost;
* The utilization rate for each service plus the sites-of-service
(in-office or in a facility);
* The current pool of practice expense values allocated to direct costs
for all services in the fee schedule;
* The conversion factor; and
* A budget neutrality factor.

Indirect Costs

· Survey data of rent, utilities, administrative staff and numbers of
hours per year that the practice is open;
· The current pool of practice expense values allocated to indirect
costs for all services in the fee schedule;
· The conversion factor; and
· A budget neutrality adjustment.

The direct and indirect costs are calculated separately and then blended
into the final practice expense value. In most cases, the practice
expense value account for approximately 30% of the total payment for
psychological services. Neuropsychological testing, however, is unique
because of the supplies and equipment that are used to provide these
assessments. Due to the costs for supplies and equipment the practice
expense values for neuropsychological testing services account for a
larger percentage of the total fee than they do for psychotherapy or
psychological testing. As a result, reductions in the practice expense
values for neuropsychological testing, including changes in indirect
costs such as rent, utilities, and administrative staff, have a greater
impact on the final payment than do practice expense reductions for
other psychological services.

Service for psychological and neuropsychological testing by a computer
will have their practice expense values raised. These changes are due in
part to the new data about the direct practice expense costs for these
services that APA provided to CMS in late 2007.

The chart below projects payment changes for the most commonly billed
psychological services.

Projected 2010 fees* for the most commonly billed services

CPT Code Descriptor 2009 Average Fee 2010 Average Fee % Change 2010 v. 2009

* 2010 fees are based on the 2009 conversion factor and do not reflect
the projected SGR cut.

** The 5% restoration for psychotherapy services is not included in
these calculations.

As mentioned above, other specialties will also see significant
reductions in practice expense. Cardiology and radiology, for example,
will each have their practice expense values cut by 10% while radiation
oncology will lose 17% and nuclear medicine 12%.

Additional information

There are still other activities that may yet impact payment next year.
APAPO is actively lobbying Congress to extend the restoration providing
an extra 5% for psychotherapy services for an additional two years to
2012. Final payment amounts for 2010 will not be known until Congress
decides if and how to address the SGR cut currently projected by CMS to
reduce all payments by 21.5%. In addition, parity in Medicare will be
phased-in starting in 2010 when Medicare's payment rises to 55% and the
beneficiary's portion drops to 45%. Full parity, with 80% paid directly
by Medicare, will take effect in 2014. Psychologists with any questions
about Medicare reimbursement may contact the Government Relations Office
by telephone at 202-336-5889 or by email at pracgov@apa.org
<mailto:pracgov@apa.org> . CMS lists its complete payment formula and
issues affecting the practice expense methodology in the July 13, 2009

Subject: Survey of LGBT Treatment in LTC Settings

 

 

Dear Colleague:
 
The National Senior Citizens Law Center, Lambda Legal, the National Center for Lesbian Rights, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, the National Center for Transgender Equality, and Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE), are working together to raise awareness of the issues facing older adults who are lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) and live in nursing homes, assisted living facilities and other long-term care facilities. We hope to identify areas where policy changes will improve care, and to find other older adults, advocates and providers interested in these issues.
 
The survey is only 16 questions. It should take no more than ten minutes to fill it out.  The survey completely protects your confidentiality. (However, we are looking for volunteers willing to be interviewed, so please consider checking that box!)
 
Click here to fill out the survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=UPQXC5Gub99IvdRNz83Hwg_3d_3d or if you would like to fill out this survey manually, you can print it out from the link above and mail it to:
 
Nancy Arevalo
National Senior Citizens Law Center

1330 Broadway, Suite 525
Oakland, CA 94612

The deadline for responding to the survey is December 15, 2009.

Whether you are an older adult living in a long-term care facility or a family member, caretaker, social worker or friend, your answers to these questions will help as we work together to fight discrimination, abuse and neglect against LGBT older adults.  Specifically, you should fill out this survey if you are:

· A lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender older adult who lives or has lived in a long-term care facility;
· A caregiver of an LGBT older adult who lives or has lived in a long-term care facility;
· A family member or friend with knowledge of an LGBT older adult’s experience in a long-term care facility;

STUDENTS: Graduate Study at Georgetown University

Division 20 Colleagues,
Please suggest that your best undergraduates consider the Developmental
Science graduate program at Georgetown. We offer a Ph.D. in Psychology
with concentrations in both Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience and in Human
Development and Public Policy. The Lifespan Cognitive Neuroscience
track combines a focus on cognitive and developmental psychology with
neuroscience, maintaining ties with the Interdisciplinary Program in
Neuroscience at our adjacent Medical Center. Our Lifespan Cognitive
Neuroscience students are using behavioral and neuroimaging techniques
to study cognitive and neural development and aging, as well as their
pathologies.

Our program is producing a unique group of developmental scientists who
appreciate how lifespan cognitive neuroscience can inform, and be
informed by, public policy issues. Other features of our program
include its small size, which fosters close mentoring relationships, and
its cohesive graduate student community, with students collaborating
across laboratories. We offer full financial support.

Further information about the program, faculty, students and alumni is
at: http://psychology.georgetown.edu/graduate/

Application deadline: December 1, 2009

Replies/inquiries: howardd@georgetown.edu

Thank you for helping to publicize our program,

Darlene Howard
