Subconscious Restructuring® Institute Clearly Defines Evidence-Based Behavioral Epidemiology

May 24, 2011 - PRLog -- The Subconscious Restructuring® (SR®) Institute has released a clearly defined protocol for evidence-based behavioral health epidemiology. There are two parts to this equation states Kelly Burris, PhD, both of which require answering key questions or KQ’s.

The first part of the equation is “Behavioral Epidemiology.” Epidemiology is taken from the term epidemic and is associated with the cause and control of disease. Behavioral health epidemiology is in regard to the cause and control of emotional and behavior disorders. The term "behavioral epidemiology" has been in use since the 1970s but there has not been a systematic framework to clearly define it until now.

Defining the epidemiology of a behavioral health intervention begins with answering seven KQ’s. Once these questions are clearly answered the formation of a behavioral epidemiologic model can take place. Clear answers to these questions moves the focus away from observational subjective analysis of external events and how a client is responding to an aberrant emotional state, to addressing how each person internally processes and stores their life events.

The seven KQ’s which must be clearly answered to define behavioral health epidemiology are…

KQ1. What determines an emotional state and human behavior?
KQ2. How does the subconscious work?
KQ3. What do all behavior disorders have in common?
KQ4. What is the difference between brain, mind, conscious and subconscious?
KQ5. What is the function of the conscious and subconscious mind?
KQ6. Is depression a disease or disorder?
KQ7. Is depression caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain?

When the behavioral epidemiology KQ’s are clearly answered one now has a foundation to build an evidence-based behavioral health protocol. The KQ’s which must be answered to legitimately use the term evidence-based in behavioral health are…

KQ1. What is measured?
KQ2. Why is it measured?
KQ3. How was the data generated?

Efficacy of empirical data in behavioral health occurs when constants are measured and changed. Validity and legitimacy of the data occurs when it is generated by the client. The constant in behavioral health is the clients’ emotional state. Measuring, monitoring and improving this constant is what brings about the efficacy of a behavioral health intervention.

Case Study

The following results are from a forty year old female who worked as a mental health professional for 20 years. There is a question of disorder transference from patient to counselor which is not an uncommon hypothesis in the field of mental health. The use of the Subconscious Restructuring® paradigm does not require past history of the patient therefore removing this hypothetical variable. This was a single four hour session with follow-up data collection the following day.

Case Study Percent Improvement: depression 81%, anxiety 60%, anger 77%, sleep 80%, suicidal ideation 80%, eating behavior 80%, relationship satisfaction, 21%.
