Standardizing the Screening Process for Behavioral Health Disorders

Abstract

Background: Active duty members experience significantly higher rates of behavioral health disorders compared to the U. S. civilian population. Primary care clinicians at NMRTC Portsmouth do not utilize a standardized behavioral health screening process for depression, anxiety, and alcohol use disorders. This may limit identification of at-risk patients, potentially delaying appropriate diagnosis and treatment, negatively impacting operational readiness.
