Implementation of integrated behavioral services and training in urban pediatric primary care

The high prevalence of behavioral health problems in ethnically-diverse, lowincome youth can have negative effects on their developmental trajectories and health. This population typically has limited access to psychological assessment and treatment. Multidisciplinary primary care teams that include behavioral health services are a viable delivery model to efficiently increase access to care. However, there is currently a shortage of training opportunities for psychologists to learn about working in these settings (particularly with pediatric populations) with only a handful of psychology internships nationally.
