Practices for assessing and treating these needs are not standardized and may vary widely. This research explores current provider practices and perspectives as a first step towards designing better strategies for adolescent behavioral health care. Methods: Primary care providers (PCPs) within a multispecialty delivery system were surveyed and interviewed about assessment and treatment of adolescent behavioral health needs, barriers to appropriate care and suggestions for system improvement.
