Abstract
Few studies have examined a diversity of professionals’ perspectives in providing children’s mental health (CMH) care, particularly for ongoing-complex problems. Based on interviews with 16 primary healthcare (PHC) providers, care for ongoing-complex CMH problems depended on provider interest and scope of practice. Most providers felt PHC is where ongoing-complex CMH problems should be cared for, where providers can emphasize advocacy, coordination, and ongoing monitoring; few felt able to provide this type of care. A comprehensive approach for incorporating PHC with specialized MH services is needed. Defining a care coordinator would be a clear step toward improving collaboration and care.
