The goal is to identify unhealthy substance use and depression in the primary care setting before these chronic diseases become debilitating by removing barriers and introducing strategies, training, and tools to widely disseminate and implement comparative effectiveness research-based models that integrate behavioral health services into primary care-Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) and Improvement Mood-Promoting Access to Collaborative Treatment (IMPACT). Identifying and managing these behavioral health conditions is critical for increasing physical and social role function, for improving the ability to manage co-morbid physical diseases,5,67,8,15 for reducing the economic costs of untreated behavior health problems,9 and for reducing the current and large treatment gap for people with substance use disorders.
