Overview
As a trusted resource for adolescents and their families, primary care providers are well positioned to identify and intervene in adolescent mental health concerns. Research findings indicate approximately 20% of young people ages 9-17 have a diagnosed mental disorder, yet as many as 70% go undiagnosed and untreated.
Adopted by schools of health professions, state agencies, and professional associations, this online, CE-certified solution helps improve the capacity of health professionals to address mental health and suicidal ideation as part of routine care. In this simulation, users assume the role of a health professional and talk with a virtual adolescent about stress-related symptoms and thoughts of suicide.
The goal of At-Risk in Primary Care: Adolescents is to improve the quality of adolescent mental health Screening and Brief Intervention.
Learning objectives:
