PCORI — New Funding Announcement
The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) will be releasing a new funding announcement titled, "Pragmatic Clinical Studies to Evaluate Patient-Centered Outcomes." The goal of this announcement is to fund pragmatic clinical trials, large simple trials, or large-scale observational studies that compare the relative effectiveness of two or more alternatives for improving patient-centered outcomes. While any study that addresses critical choices faced by patients, their caregivers, clinicians and/or delivery systems will be considered, PCORI's multi-stakeholder panels have identified 16 high-priority topics and research questions. PCORI will give first consideration to applications that directly address one or more of the 16 PCORI Priority Topics.
Please note that for this cycle, PCORI has made no changes to the list. PCORI has funds available up to $90 million for studies in response to the current cycle of the PCS funding announcement, including any studies for the PCORI priority topics.
The mission of the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) is to improve the quality and relevance of evidence available to help patients, caregivers, clinicians, employers, insurers and policymakers make informed health decisions. You are invited to review this new funding announcement and share this information with others who may be interested.
The pre-announcement is available on the PCORI website with further details about the new topic on anxiety in children, adolescents and/or young adults. The funding announcement will be released on Jan. 16.

A new study suggests that for teenagers, even a short period of sleep restriction could, over the long term, raise their risk for depression and addiction. University of Pittsburgh investigators invited 35 participants, aged 11.5-15 years, into a sleep lab for two nights. Half the participants slept for 10 hours, while the other half slept only four hours.

Those who continue to binge eat while trying to lose weight drop about half as much as those who don't or those who do and then subsequently stop.

The study, published in JAMA Psychiatry, was the largest international comparison of incidence of psychotic disorders, and the first major investigation of its kind in more than 25 years.

Borderline personality disorder and bipolar disorder affect an estimated 1.6 percent and 2.6 percent of U.S. adults, respectively; both illnesses are severe and associated with significant disability. They commonly co-occur and share certain symptoms, including impulsivity and emotional instability. Given these overlapping features, it can be challenging for clinicians to differentiate between the two disorders.

Future of Personal Health
Anxiety affects one of out of four teens these days, but can be difficult to detect. Some kids keep it inside.
