Area of Science:

  • Pediatric primary care
  • Child and adolescent mental health
  • Public health policy

Background:

  • Pediatricians play a crucial role in promoting children's social-emotional development and addressing mental health and substance use conditions.
  • The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) previously issued policy statements in 2009 regarding mental health care competencies in primary care settings.
  • Evolving scientific understanding and policy shifts necessitate an update to these competencies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To update the 2009 AAP policy statement on mental health care competencies for pediatricians.
  • To expand competencies based on recent advancements, including the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and social determinants of health.
  • To integrate trauma-informed practice and team-based care models into pediatric mental health services.

Main Methods:

  • Review and synthesis of current scientific literature and policy developments since 2009.
  • Affirmation and expansion of previously proposed competencies for pediatric mental health care.
  • Consideration of the applicability of these competencies to pediatric subspecialty practice.

Main Results:

  • Proposed competencies encompass foundational communication, integration of mental health into preventive care, psychosocial assessment, evidence-based therapies (psychosocial and psychopharmacologic), and team-based care.
  • Emphasis on recognizing the impact of ACEs and social determinants on child mental health.
  • Competencies are relevant for both general pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists.

Conclusions:

  • Achieving these expanded mental health competencies requires a multifaceted approach, including advocacy, system changes, and new payment models.
  • Pediatricians must embrace mental health practice as an integral component of comprehensive pediatric care.
  • Implementation will be incremental, necessitating practice enhancements and decision support for pediatricians.
