Adult and pediatric collaborative care models: established practices, key differences, and future directions

While collaborative care (The Collaborative Care Model [CoCM]) is an extensively evidence-based model for behavioral health integration in adult populations, less research has focused on CoCM in pediatric settings. Real-world implementation has mirrored this pattern, with far more examples of CoCM in adult than pediatric settings. Andrew Carlo, MD, will outline seminal CoCM studies from the adult and pediatric populations, while also discussing notable differences in model design and strategy when applied across the age spectrum.
