Open trial of integrated primary care consultation for medically unexplained symptoms.
In this study, a behavioral consultation intervention for primary care patients with medically unexplained symptoms (n = 10) was developed and assessed. Notwithstanding the limitations of open trial designs, the findings demonstrated high feasibility for a behavioral health consultation treatment model for patients with medically unexplained symptoms and highlight the need for further research.

Smoking-cessation assistance: before and after stage 1 meaningful use implementation.
This study examined whether smoking status assessment, cessation assistance, and odds of being a current smoker changed after Stage 1 Meaningful Use (MU) implementation. Its findings suggest that incentives for MU of electronic health records increase the odds of smoking assessment and cessation assistance, which could lead to decreased smoking rates among vulnerable populations.

Evaluating the potential for primary care to serve as a mental health home for people with schizophrenia.
This study examined the annual primary care and specialty mental health service utilization of adult North Carolina Medicaid enrollees with schizophrenia and at least one comorbid chronic condition who were in a medical home during 2007-2010. It concluded that medical home enrollment was associated with increased use of primary care and specialty mental health care, as well as increased medication adherence.

Implementation of behavioral health interventions in real world scenarios: managing complex change.
This paper reports the change management strategies employed by practice leaders making changes to integrate care, as observed by independent investigators. It offers an empirically based set of actionable recommendations that are relevant to a range of leaders (policymakers, medical directors) and practice members who wish to effectively manage the complex changes associated with integrated primary care.

Outcomes of integrated behavioral health with primary care.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of integrated care, adapted to local contexts, on depression severity and patients' experience of care. It found that integrating behavioral health and primary care, when adapted to fit into community practices, reduced depression severity and enhanced patients' experience of care.

Research in the integration of behavioral health for adolescents and young adults in primary care settings: a systematic review.
Adolescents and young adults with mental health conditions have some of the lowest rates of treatment for their conditions of all age groups.. In this paper, the authors review the current research literature for behavioral health integration in the adolescent and young adult population and make recommendations for needed research to move the field forward.
