42.3 PARTNERING WITH PEDIATRICIANS: IMPACT OF EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING WITH STANDARDIZED PATIENTS ON SCREENING AND DIAGNOSIS OF ADOLESCENT DEPRESSION IN PRIMARY CARE

Abstract

Although primary care providers (PCPs) could achieve early identification of adolescent depression, they report inadequate training in depression care. This session describes a model for experiential depression training using standardized patients and demonstrates the long-term impact of this PCP training on the screening and diagnosis of adolescent depression in primary care.
