Integrated care models and behavioral health care utilization: quasi-experimental evidence from Medicaid health homes.
This study provided the first population-level evidence on the effects of Medicaid health homes (HH) on behavioral health care service use. As of 2016, 16 states had adopted an HH for enrollees with serious mental illness and/or substance use disorder. Using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the authors found that HH adoption increased service use among enrollees and enrollee self-reported health improved post-HH.

The impact of behavioral health consultations on medical encounter duration in pediatric primary care: a retrospective match-controlled study.
This retrospective match-controlled study examined the impact of behavioral health consultations on medical visit duration in pediatric primary care. Patient encounters involving behavioral health consultants were significantly longer (11 plus minutes) than matched controls, and had less time allowed for medical care. The authors of the study recommend that behavioral health consultants work with the clinician to improve time efficiency.

Impacting pediatric primary care: opportunities and challenges for behavioral research in a shifting healthcare landscape.
This commentary discusses the role that behavioral analysts can have in partnership with pediatric medicine. There have been advances, but there has been limited impact for the daily practice of pediatrics. The authors discuss why behavioral pediatrics has failed to gain traction in primary care, describe possible opportunities for an expanded portfolio of research, and identify several examplars from the behavior analytic literature that has influenced pediatric primary care, and make further recommendations for producing influential data.
