Psychiatry Consultation in Primary Care: Examining Treatment Access for Adolescent Depression

October 2024, Journal of Adolescent Health

“Child Psychiatry Access Programs (CPAPs) aim to increase access to care and mitigate psychiatric workforce shortages, but research about outcomes associated with CPAP use is limited. This study shows that adolescents whose primary care providers consulted with a CPAP were more likely to access psychopharmacologic and therapeutic treatment for depression.” (Hurst et al., 2024).
