Abstract:
A standard interview guide focused on behavioral health referral practices and communication patterns was developed and administered to 47 pediatricians in private practice. Results suggested that the most frequent reasons for referral to a mental health provider were diagnostic uncertainty, failure to respond to treatment, presence of severe affective symptoms, and need for ongoing psychotherapy. Only a third of the providers indicated that their patients frequently followed through with recommendations to receive mental health care. More than half of the pediatricians wanted more information regarding their patients referred for mental health services, and they expressed a strong interest in colocation with a mental health provider.
