The Adolescent in Room 3: Integration of Mental Health in Primary Care
Anyone can learn with PNCB’s new bite-sized Journal Club CE—article included!
Adolescent emotional wellness is at a crisis point. Timely screening and assessment of mental health and substance abuse issues in primary care are key, but how can we better integrate this care—and ensure effectiveness? Explore a research initiative about designing a more effective approach to integrating mental health in primary care with PNCB's new CE module: The Adolescent in Room 3: Integration of Mental Health in Primary Care. Interviews of adolescents and their parents delivered insights into perceptions of privacy, communication, shared decision-making, and ease of access to care—all things to consider for your practice setting.
After completing this CE module, the participant will be able to:
- Identify challenges in providing mental health screening and treatment to adolescents.
- Discuss the process and outcomes of the quality improvement initiative implemented by a prestigious national health cooperative.
- List design solutions that can be incorporated into adolescent mental health and substance use screening and treatment programs based on adolescent and parental preferences.
