Rural Pediatric Primary Care Practice Patterns As A Result Of An On-Site Behavioral Health Consultant: A Retrospective Analysis, Kayla D. Mccarter

Undergraduate Honors Theses

Nationally, it has been estimated that 10 to 21% of children with psychosocial concerns are seen in primary care settings (Jellinek et al., 1999; McInerny, Szilagyi, Childs, Wasserman & Kelleher, 2000; Palermo et al., 2002). Often, however, children go undiagnosed with/treated for psychosocial concerns in pediatric primary care due to lack of physician time and poor referral rates to mental health providers. Evaluations of integrated care models, in which a behavioral health consultant is present in primary care practices, has shown to increase the availability of mental health services (Stancin, Perrin, & Ramirez, 2009).

Additionally, this project determined if the PRP led to a significant increase in the number of volunteer participants in WRMC’s SPOONS program. Finally, this research examined the attrition rate of participants related to the mandatory Tuberculosis (TB) skin test and drug screen, and extensive SPOONS training program required to volunteer at WRMC. Malnutrition is a serious medical concern among hospitalized older adults. Socialization can improve the nutritional intake of …
