BACKGROUND: Somatization and hypochondriacal health anxiety are common sources of distress, impairment, and costly medical utilization in primary care practice. A range of interventions is needed to improve the care of these patients. OBJECTIVE: To determine the effectiveness of two cognitive behavioral interventions for high-utilizing, somatizing patients, using the resources found in a routine care setting. DESIGN: Patients were randomly assigned to a two-step cognitive behavioral treatment program accompanied by a training seminar for their primary care physicians, or to relaxation training. Providers routinely working in these patients' primary care practices delivered the cognitive behavior therapy and relaxation training. A follow-up assessment was completed immediately prior to treatment and 6 and 12 months later. SUBJECTS: Eighty-nine medical outpatients with elevated levels of somatization, hypochondriacal health anxiety, and medical care utilization. MEASUREMENTS: Somatization and hypochondriasis, overall psychiatric distress, and role impairment were assessed with well-validated, self-report questionnaires. Outpatient visits and medical care costs before and after the intervention were obtained from the encounter claims database. RESULTS: At 6 month and 12 month follow-up, both intervention groups showed significant improvements in somatization (p< 0.01), hypochondriacal symptoms (p<0.01), overall psychiatric distress (p< 0.01), and role impairment (p<0.01). Outcomes did not differ significantly between the two groups. When both groups were combined, ambulatory visits declined from 10.3 to 8.8 (p=0.036), and mean ambulatory costs decreased from $3,574 to $2,991 (p=0.028) in the year preceding versus the year following the interventions. Psychiatric visits and costs were unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: Two similar cognitive behavioral interventions, delivered with the resources available in routine primary care, improved somatization, hypochondriacal symptoms, overall psychiatric distress, and role function. They also reduced the ambulatory visits and costs of these high utilizing outpatients.K E Y W O R D S : co g n it i v e b e ha v i or t h e ra p y ; so m a t i z a t i o n; hypochondriasis; medical utilization; medical care costs.

Falls in older people can represent serious individual and socioeconomic problems. With the increasing number of older people in the population, management of falls is becoming a challenge.It is now recognized that several risk factors for falling can be identified, and specific interventions can be designed in order to reduce those risks. Several tools were then developed and are now available to screen for fall risk. However, these tools are applied with low frequency, usually requiring the use of expensive equipments that can only be manipulated by experts. This poses some constraints on the prevention of falls, since when these techniques are applied, it can be too late.In order to improve the earlier detection of risks and the application of fall prevention strategies, new community based solutions must be developed. In this project, the mobile phone was purposed as a potential instrument to perform fall risk screening. Several strategies were then evaluated to be adapted to the phone for fall risk screening purposes.Phone's inertial sensors were used to extract some parameters of gait that were related with an increased risk of falling. Foot contacts, gait phases, step length, step duration, walking velocity and variability parameters could then be determined from sensors data. Acceptable measures of step length and walking velocity could be obtained. Additionally, other risk factors were selected to be assessed by self-report, using some clinical scales/questionnaires.Results suggest that phone can be used as a major strategy to improve fall prevention, being a great value for older persons and society.i ii ResumoUma queda num idoso pode resultar em graves problemas individuais e socioeconómicos. Com o aumento do número de idosos na população, a gestão de quedas está a tornar-se um desafio.Actualmente, é possível identificar vários factores de risco para a ocorrência de quedas bem como reduzir esses riscos, através da aplicação da aplicação de intervenções especí-ficas. Nesse sentido, há já algumas ferramentas actualmente disponíveis para avaliar o risco de queda. Estas ferramentas no entanto usadas com baixa frequência, exigindo o uso de equipamentos caros que apenas podem ser manipulados por pessoas qualificadas. Muitas vezes, estas técnicas podem já ser aplicadas tarde demais.Para que a detecção dos riscos e a aplicação de estratégias de prevenção de quedas possa ser feita mais precocemente, é necessário o desenvolvimento de novas soluções dirigidas à população. Neste projecto, foi proposto o uso do telemóvel para a detecção do risco de queda nos idosos.Os sinais dos sensores do telemóvel foram utilizados para extrair parâmetros da marcha relacionados com um risco de queda aumentado. A partir deles, os contactos do pé com o chão, as fases da marcha, o tamanho e duração dos passos, a velocidade e parâmetros que quantificam a variabilidade da marcha puderam ser determinados. Medidas aceitáveis do tamanho dos passos e da velocidade foram obtidas. Adicionalmente, outros factores de risco foram sele...
