Abstract:
This report examines model programs for improving integration and coordination of behavioral health and primary health services for adults and children with serious mental disorders who rely on the public mental health system for their care. It summarizes findings of a series of studies and offers recommendations for policymakers.
The Bazelon Center's study fills a gap by focusing primarily on integration of care for people with serious mental illnesses.
