abstract="OBJECTIVE: The current study examines the scope of integrated behavioral health services provided by behavioral health clinicians in pediatric primary care. <br><br>METHODS: A cross-sectional electronic health record review was conducted to characterize integrated behavioral health services including consultation types, recommendations, and medical diagnoses. Services were provided over a 6-year period in an urban, residency-training clinic serving a primarily publicly insured population. <br><br>RESULTS: Of the 4,440 patients seen by behavioral health clinicians (BHCs), 2,829 (63.7%) were seen during well-child checks to address a wide array of presenting problems. The five consultation types &quot;Healthy Steps (6%), pregnancy-related depression (17.7%), developmental (19.2%), mental health (53.2%), and psychopharmacology (5%)&quot; were characterized by differences in demographics, presenting problems, recommendations, and medical diagnoses. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: Pediatric BHCs provide a wide range of services to pediatric populations in the context of integrated behavioral health programs. Implications for workforce capacity development, evaluation of outcomes and impact, and sustainability are discussed.<br><br>© The Author 2016.
