| Sumario: | There has been a recent push for the incorporation of mental/behavioral health (M/BH) services within primary care (PC). The present study aimed to assess current and desired services and perceived barriers to M/BH care. Participants were 153 parents of pediatric PC patients (age range = 4–15). Parents were primarily female (93.5%), African American (68.8%), and low income (78.4%). Parents desired more M/BH assistance than what they received and were most likely to seek M/BH services if provided in the PC setting. Tangible barriers were most commonly cited. Findings have implications for M/BH service implementation in PC. |
