  9. Learning Assessment • How many people here would be comfortable screening for behavioral health issues during well-child visits? • What do you anticipate are common behavioral and health promotion diagnoses in rural primary care clinics? What are some potential risks of screening at WCVs? • What EBTs do you believe are most frequently utilized for behavior health concerns in primary care? *A question and answer period will be conducted at the end of this presentation.

  10. Addressing Adolescent Behavioral Health in Primary Care Some interesting facts… • 1/5 adolescents experience emotional distress (20%). • 1/10 adolescents are emotionally impaired and unable to function in daily activities (10%).

  11. Addressing Adolescent Behavioral Health in Primary Care • Behavioral Health services may be less stigmatizing and more coordinated when addressed in primary care. • Addressing behavioral health problems may decrease the overutilization of health services that is common among children and adolescents with behavioral health issues. • Primary care providers already provide behavioral health treatment, including psychotropic medication for children and adults.

  12. The Well-Child Visit Using an integrated approach to care, the WCV is an optimal time for behavior health prevention and early intervention. But HOW??? But WHO??? “I’m Scared!”
