Implementation and Evaluation of Primary Care Behavioral Health in Sweden

Sweden666 participantsStarted 2022-01-01

Plain-language summary

In this multicenter study, the investigators want to compare treatment outcomes for patients with mental and behavioral health problems in traditional primary care (Care As Usual, CAU) and primary care centres that work according to the Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) model. In addition to this, the investigators want to study organisation-level outcomes, such as access to care, perceived teamwork and work environment. To achieve this, primary care centres that have expressed interest in implementing PCBH will be cluster randomised between implementing directly or waiting for implementation.
