Petitti A1 - AB - This study was conducted to explore the potential benefits attributed to providing on-site primary care at a behavioral health treatment facility, which include addressing unmet medical needs, improving disease detection, and increasing access to primary care. Specifically, I advanced prior research on integrated models of care by testing the validity of offering a reverse model of care in which a behavioral health outpatient facility coordinated the total care plan. I conducted a randomized control trial study in order to compare differences in access to primary care and disease detection for patients in a treatment group -- those who receive integrated care, behavioral health and primary care services on-site; with patients in a control group -- those who receive behavioral health services as usual, and who are referred to the local Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC). The Institutional Review Board of The New School for Social Research approved this study prior to commencement. The data set in this study was extracted from a practice management software system operated at an outpatient behavioral health facility which provides mental health and substance use disorders treatment within a low income, urban setting in Connecticut.
