A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter trial aims to assess whether adding a diagnostic assessment and guided self-help Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) can enhance the effectiveness of Primary Care Behavioral Health (PCBH) interventions for patients with mental health issues. The study will compare the outcomes of patients receiving standard PCBH, which focuses on contextual assessments and brief interventions, to those receiving the enhanced approach. The goal is to improve patient functioning and symptoms while also evaluating the overall impact on both patient and organizational outcomes.
