Behavioral Health Screenings
Screening and brief intervention is an integral part of preventive health. Time is a critical factor for PCPs. Blended approaches to screening help a great deal in improving the efficiency of a comprehensive effort at prevention. The OHCA behavioral health and substance abuse screening tool can aid in this effort because it is an integrated approach.
