Our evaluation showed that the BCPNN approach had a high and promising predictive value in identifying early signals of new adverse drug reactions.

Treatment with clozapine, olanzapine or risperidone appears to be associated with an increased risk of glucose intolerance.

While stressing that human review is essential, triage strategies are useful when attempting analysis of large amounts of data. By definition, the use of triage strategies may exclude some potential signals from consideration, although the intention is to improve the chances of detection by focussing on areas of greatest importance.

Background Lately, greater focus has been given to the mental health of nonbirthing parents postpartum. However, mothers, but not nonbirthing parents, are routinely screened for postpartum depression, and until recently, nonbirthing parents have not been given the same opportunity as mothers to discuss their parental role without the other parent present. To strengthen the parental role, a separate parental interview with the nonbirthing parent began to be offered as part of the Swedish Child Health Service's (CHS) general programme. Aim This study aimed to explore CHS nurses’ experiences of performing parental interviews with nonbirthing parents. Methods Content analysis was used when analysing data from six research interviews, of which half were focus group interviews. In total, 11 CHS nurses were interviewed. Results Child Health Service nurses reported that although the interview with the nonbirthing parent was a positive experience and that a more family‐oriented perspective was something many of them had been longing for, they could also feel that it demanded a lot from them, including things they had perhaps not previously considered. CHS nurses reported difficulties with having such close contact with both parents, and they also described feeling worried about the information that could come up in a standardised conversation and the knowledge provided. Conclusion There are both possibilities and challenges in widening the responsibilities of the CHS nurse to include the nonbirthing parent by offering a postpartum interview. Implications This study provides information to healthcare professionals about the importance of providing proper guidance and education when broadening the duties and responsibilities for CHS nurses to include nonbirthing parents in mental health screening. CHS nurses must be given the resources needed to deal with the challenges they encounter and sufficient time for the interviews to be possible and meaningful.
