Patient-centered medical home care for adolescents in need of mental health treatment.
The patient-centered medical home (PCMH) has emerged as an optimal primary care model for all youth; however, little is known about the extent to which adolescents in need of mental health (MH) treatment receive care consistent with the PCMH. This study assessed (1) 10-year trends in PCMH care among U.S. adolescents according to MH need and (2) variations in PCMH care and its subcomponents among adolescents with MH need, by individual and family characteristics.

Racial, ethnic, and nativity differences in mental health visits to primary care and specialty mental health providers: analysis of the Medical Expenditures Panel Survey, 2010-2015.
The researchers sought to guide post-ACA efforts to address mental health service disparities, by using a nationally representative sample to characterize baseline race-, ethnicity-, and nativity-associated differences in mental health services in the context of primary care. They found that all racial/ethnic groups were less likely than non-Latino Whites to have any primary care (PC) visit. Their conclusion was that racial-, ethnic-, and nativity-associated disparities persist in PC provided mental health services.
