A mixed methods analysis of U.S. perinatal providers’ attitudes towards culturally relevant infant mental health integration in obstetrical care
Overall, the integration of IMH-BHCs into clinical settings was regarded as beneficial due to decreasing provider workload, increasing accessibility to mental health services for socially marginalized populations, and enhancing patient engagement. Further research is needed to mitigate barriers to IMH-BHC integration.
