The Academy Web Portal – A Resource Hub

Welcome to this new AHRQ Web portal where you will find the resources you need to advance the integration of primary care and behavioral health care and foster a collaborative environment for dialogue and discussion among relevant thought leaders.

This resource center will facilitate the work of the Academy by being a central hub for information, coordination, dissemination, and networking. The portal is structured around seven topics: Research, Education, Policy, Financing & Sustainability, Clinical & Community, Health Information Technology, Resources, and Collaboration.

Information related to integration will include evidence-based practices, descriptions of promising practices, and articles on methods used to acquire evidence. The portal will be enhanced by adding coordination, dissemination, and networking functions including Webinars and forums.
