Abstract Text
A contract was signed in September, 1998, launching is a large,
multicenter study sponsored by the National Institute of Mental Health
(NIMH). Scheduled to begin in 1999, the study seeks to determine the
most effective treatment strategies and to systematically assess
outcomes of medication and psychosocial treatments for 5,000 - 10,000
patients with bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder. Data collected over
a five year period will be analyzed to determine the impact of various
treatments on specific outcomes, quality of life and illness-related
costs. The Coordinating Center of the contract is at Massachusetts
General Hospital in Boston. They are actively recruiting potential
investigational sites to participate in this exciting longitudinal
study, the largest such effort ever sponsored by the NIMH.

Publications
Publications are associated with projects, but cannot be identified with any particular year of the project or fiscal year of funding. This is due to the continuous and cumulative nature of knowledge generation across the life of a project and the sometimes long and variable publishing timeline. Similarly, for multi-component projects, publications are associated with the parent core project and not with individual sub-projects.
