Novel health information technology to aid provider recognition and treatment of major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder in primary care.
This article describes a multicomponent health information technology screening tool designed to aid provider recognition and treatment of major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the primary care setting, with an eye toward meeting the mental health needs of traumatized refugees in the US Cambodian community. In a randomized controlled trial, 18 primary care providers were randomized to receive access to the mental health screening intervention, or to a minimal intervention control group. Cambodian American patients empaneled to participating providers were assigned to the providers' randomized group. From the results, the authors conclude that this approach offers the potential for training providers to diagnose and treat traumatized patients seeking mental health care in primary care.
