Florida Moves To Increase Health Insurance For Children
Capitol News Service reports that an estimated 50,000 additional uninsured children may receive medical coverage from legislation that Gov. Charlie Crist signed Tuesday. "The Kid Care program offers low cost insurance to children up to ages 19. But penalties and a lengthy application process have kept thousand of families out," Capitol News Service reports. "The legislation shortens the waiting time to enroll in the state"s Kid Care program and lessens the penalties for missing a premium payment."

This inaugural issue has original articles addressing the qualities of a good psychiatrist, as well as studies exploring the working criteria of mild cognitive impairment, and that of neuropsychiatric symptoms. In addition to the clinical practice papers spotlighting best practice in mental health care , the " Young Psychiatrists Forum" will be a stimulating platform to discuss training matters. There is also "Psychiatry in Translation" section - where abstracts from articles published in Chinese journals are compiled and translated for readers. Editor-in-Chief Dr. Allan Tasman said, "We will have succeeded (in our mission) if readers find content that may make a difference in their clinical practice or academic life, and which they may wish to share with colleagues in their journal clubs or cite in their next research paper." Volume 1, Issue 1 of Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is available free online, and can be accessed via http://www3.interscience.wiley.com/journal/122491012/home About Asia-Pacific Psychiatry Asia-Pacific Psychiatry is an international psychiatric journal focused on the Asia and Pacific Rim region, and is the official journal of the Pacific Rim College of Psychiatry. Asia-Pacific Psychiatry enables psychiatrists and other mental health professionals in the region to share their research, educational programs and clinical experience with a larger international readership. The journal offers a venue for high quality research for and from the region in the face of minimal international publication availability for authors concerned with the region. This includes findings highlighting the diversity in psychiatric behavior, treatment and outcome related to social, ethnic, cultural, and economic differences of the region. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles and reviews, as well as clinically and educationally focused papers on regional best practices. Images, videos, a young psychiatrist"s corner, meeting reports, a journal club, and contextual commentaries differentiate this journal from existing main stream psychiatry research journals that are focused on other regions, or nationally focused within countries of Asia and the Pacific Rim.
