Abstract
Less than half of youth in need of mental health (MH) services receive them, leading to pediatric primary care providers (PCPs) filling the void despite self-reported lack of training. AACAP recognizes integrating MH services into pediatric primary care as a potential solution to gaps in access to MH treatment, but little information is available about this model in pediatric training. We present data from July 2016 through May 2018 after embedding a child psychiatrist for indirect and direct consultation, warm handoffs, and monthly trainings focused on brief interventions and evidence-based treatments (EBTs) for common MH concerns. We report on the effect of this model on attitudes, beliefs, and knowledge regarding working with patients with MH problems.
