Excellent Very Good Good Fair Poor Rebecca is a 31-year-old woman living with schizophrenia who has had prior trials of aripiprazole, olanzapine, risperidone, and quetiapine. She was prescribed each of these medications for 9-12 months until they were discontinued due to lack of efficacy when a psychotic relapse occurred. She lives with her parents and helps her father, who has Type 1 diabetes, take his insulin injections. She says she feels comfortable with small needles but larger needles make her uncomfortable since a traumatic situation involving emergent forced IM medications when she became violent during a prior hospitalization. Which of the following LAIs would be the best overall choice for her? Aripiprazole lauroxil Aripiprazole monohydrate Haloperidol decanoate Paliperidone palmitate Risperidone subcutaneous LAI Based on my participation in this activity, I anticipate I will more often: (select all that apply) Offer LAIs to a greater number of my adult patients with schizophrenia Offer an LAI to patients who are currently stable on an oral antipsychotic Offer an LAI to a new patient after an initial psychotic episode Discuss techniques to mitigate needle pain when describing LAIs to my patients Remain apprised of new and emerging clinical data regarding LAIs in schizophrenia Discuss a range of LAIs with different amenities of care (such as lower injection volumes and different administration method) to patients Administer LAIs in practice; Refer patients who prefer LAIs for an injection Address barriers to the clinical integration and administration of LAIs (eg, storage, preparation, and administration limitations) Revisit discussion of LAIs at subsequent visits after a patient initially refuses LAIs Inform patients who previously refused or discontinued LAIs that newer LAI options are available with more amenities of care Describe the clinical benefits of LAIs (such as reduced risk of relapse and convenience of administration regimen) before mentioning the injection route of the administration Use motivational interviewing to deconstruct patient resistance to LAIs Wait for the patient to initiate conversations about LAI therapy Follow guideline recommendations derived from clinical trial and real-world data for the therapeutic use of LAIs Address patient-related barriers and misconceptions that limit the introduction of LAIs in schizophrenia treatment Other (please specify): Do you intend to make any additional changes to your practice as a result of information gained from this activity? Please be specific. Yes, please describe: No Which of the following barriers do you perceive in your efforts to implement practice changes and/or optimize patient care? Select all that apply. No barriers Cost Lack of opportunity/patients Lack of administrative support Insurance/reimbursement issues Lack of consensus or professional guidelines Lack of time to assess/counsel patients Patient compliance issues Not applicable to my practice Other: How might future activities help you address those barriers? 255 characters max Previous
