Demographic and temporal trends in mental health and substance use services provided by primary care physicians in British Columbia, Canada
Our study shows changing dynamics in MHSU service delivery among FPs over time, across the life span and between FP sexes that are likely to influence access to care beyond simply the number of FPs. Given the healthcare needs of the population, these findings point to potential future changes in provision of MHSU services.
