Identifying Depression and Anxiety • Symptoms of depression, anxiety, and functioning problems combine to yield a “Global Distress Score” • Adult Outcomes Questionnaire (AOQ) includes PHQ-9, GAD-2 and functioning items • Serves as both screener and progress monitor • Available in paper, on-line, or by secure message • Used in adult medicine, women’s health, specialty mental health, and health education classes

  19. Online Training Tools for Clinicians

  20. BH in Primary Care Must Address Clinician AND Patient Concerns The doctor: • How do I ask about BH issues? • What do I do when the answer is “yes”? • The patient: • If I disclose, what will happen ? • How will this benefit my health?

  21. Documentation of BH Issues in EHR Concerns: safety, privacy, stigma, visibility, discrimination Benefits: • Facilitates coordination of care • Prompts for follow-up and ongoing intervention • Allows other clinicians to reinforce intervention • Allows other clinicians to better understand what may underlie current medical conditions and adherence • Safety • Normalizing, removes stigma
