Summary

Stress and anxiety can worsen quality of life in patients seen in primary care practices. Patients at predetermined practices age 20-65 receive psychosocial screening instruments for anxiety and quality of life (GAD7 and SF-12) at six month intervals for twenty-four months as part of routine care. Assessing anxiety and quality of life every six months will provide data to analyze whether anxiety and quality of life changes over time.

Patients who consent will also be asked at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months about medical utilization of behavioral care or any medical care outside of University of Pittsburgh Medical Center in order to be part of their research record for good clinical care. If patients received any behavioral treatment, the patient will also be asked questions regarding the helpfulness of this treatment.

This is an observational characterization study to understand the psychiatric and behavioral needs of primary care patients. The follow-up questionnaires and medical record information will look at the rates and predictors of hospitalizations and/ or behavioral health treatment as a longitudinal way to track these symptoms over time. These resources are critical to determine the need for embedded behavioral care in primary care settings.
