Abstract
This study reports on a statewide survey of medical and behavioral health professionals to advance the knowledge base on the benefits and obstacles to delivering integrated pediatric health care. Surveys distributed in 3 statewide provider networks were completed by 110 behavioral health specialists (BHSs) and 111 primary care physicians (PCPs). Survey content documented their perceptions about key services, benefits, barriers, and needed opportunities related to integrated care. Factor analyses identified 8 factors, and other items were examined individually. We compared responses by specialty group (BHS vs PCP) and integrated care experience (no vs yes). The findings revealed differences across domains by specialty subgroup. In several cases, BHS (vs PCP) respondents, especially those with integrated care experience, reported lower benefits, higher barriers, and fewer resource requests. The implications of these results for enhancing care integration development, delivery, training, and research are discussed along with the study's limitations and empirical literature.
