Lurie Children’s Program Helps Pediatricians Gain Independent Expertise to Treat More Kids with Depression and Anxiety, Study Finds
Pediatricians who participated in the collaborative mental health program at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago were more likely to diagnose and treat anxiety and depression in kids without reliance on additional support from specialists, according to a study published in Academic Pediatrics. Findings suggest that the program – called Mood, Anxiety, ADHD Collaborative Care (MAACC) – successfully prepares pediatricians to manage these conditions independently, so that more children can access care despite the ongoing shortage of pediatric mental health professionals.
