Summary

The Bipolar Disorder Center for Pennsylvanians aims to reduce significant differences in treatment results among Pennsylvanians with bipolar disorder, especially among youth, the elderly, rural residents, and African Americans who are less likely to receive adequate treatment, less likely to remain in treatment once identified, and less likely to have positive results if they remain in treatment. Half of the subjects receive either Guideline Intervention (GI) or Enhanced Clinical Intervention (ECI). ECI is a combination of information and support, such as education about bipolar disorder, the medications used to treat it, information about sleep practices and habits that affect quality of sleep, review of symptoms, medication side effects, and coping with side effects. It is predicted that Enhanced Clinical Intervention will be more effective in reducing the differences in results between those most at risk compared to mid-life Caucasians. The treatment study occurs at three sites across Pennsylvania and has emphasized the recruitment of African Americans, youth (ages 12 through 18), and adults over age 65.
