AB - Nationwide challenges with the lack of access to mental health care for youth have prompted efforts to integrate mental health into pediatric primary care. Kansas Kids Mental Health Access Program (KSKidsMAP) was developed to promote mental health workforce development through primary-care practitioners (PCPs) by offering free access to consultations, training, and care coordination. Kansas Kids Mental Health Access Program, a federally funded pediatric mental health care access program (PMHCA), is highly interprofessional in nature, and recommendations reflect the team composition and collaboration efforts. Therefore, a mixed-methods study was conducted to assess the type of recommendations provided to PCPs who requested case consultation services. Seven themes were identified: (1) psychotherapy; (2) diagnostic evaluation; (3) community resources; (4) pharmacotherapy; (5) patient resources and toolkits; (6) education; and (7) other health recommendations. This study highlights the multifaceted approach of KSKidsMAP in addressing PCPs' pediatric mental health concerns.
