Physician Preferences for Universal Routine Depression Screening for Adolescents in Primary Care

In this survey study, primary care physicians preferred identifying adolescent depression accurately and shortening well-child examination time. Health systems and payers should consider these preferences for accuracy and efficiency by physicians, who are strongly positioned to identify adolescent depression early and to implement screenings. Further research is needed to better understand family and administrative staff preferences regarding pediatric integrated behavioral health care.

Abstract

In this survey study, primary care physicians preferred identifying adolescent depression accurately and shortening well-child examination time. Health systems and payers should consider these preferences for accuracy and efficiency by physicians, who are strongly positioned to identify adolescent depression early and to implement screenings. Further research is needed to better understand family and administrative staff preferences regarding pediatric integrated behavioral health care.
