In 2021, given the growing mental health crisis worsened by the COVID-19 pandemic, a state of emergency was declared in children's mental health and a national suicide prevention crisis hotline number, 988 was established. Despite the elevated rates of mental health concerns, the ability to access treatment is low and critical shortages in the U.S. Child and Adolescent Psychiatry workforce contribute to the lack of access to trained pediatric mental health professionals. Pediatric primary care is a natural setting for evidence-based and innovative primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention models due to universal access to patients. Pediatricians can integrate behavioral health care into their primary care practice though providing patients with care for common mental health issues either alone or collaborating with mental health specialists. However, the majority of pediatric trainees report that they do not feel competent to assess and treat pediatric patients with common B/MH concerns even though they feel that competency in these areas is important. Regulatory changes in pediatric training programs are necessary but change takes time. Integrated Behavioral Health (IBH) is a term used to describe a variety of models of care that can be implemented by teams of primary care and B/MH providers working together. These models use a systematic approach that emphasizes collaboration and communication to provide patient-centered care and improve patient health outcomes through increased access to and delivery of quality behavioral health care. The integration of behavioral health care into pediatric primary care has the potential to reduce disparities by increasing access to needed mental health care in a familiar and destigmatized environment, decrease wait time for services and improve the quality of B/MH care provided in the primary care setting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":49086,"journal":{"name":"Current Problems in Pediatric and Adolescent Health Care","volume":"54 12","pages":"Article 101715"},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142792338","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
