Outcome Measures for Pediatric Depression

VHAN primary care providers are often at the front lines of screening and assessing the behavioral health concerns of their patients. At times, primary care providers encounter patients who are experiencing depression. Due to a national shortage of psychiatrists and other behavioral health providers, primary care providers are often tasked with prescribing and managing anti-depressant medication for their patients.

• Best practices when prescribing medication for pediatric patients with depression
