Abstract

We reviewed the literature on the detection and management of mental health disorders within the context of pediatric primary care. Pediatricians have displayed a low sensitivity and high specificity in research investigating the detection of mental health impairment in children. Active management efforts characterize approaches to identified cases with more recently trained primary care pediatricians displaying a wider range of skills in managing mental health disorders. Few efforts have been made by pediatric psychologists to develop strategies for enhancing detection rates and management or to empirically evaluate the integration of pediatric psychology services into the primary care context. A conceptual model of factors influencing detection rates and ongoing management of mental health disorders within pediatric primary care is presented. Recommendations are made for more direct involvement of pediatric psychologists within the primary care context.
