Integrated behavioral health (IBH) is a field rich with stories from behavioral health providers who have first-hand experience implementing IBH models into primary care settings. Qualitative interviews are a great research method for capturing how providers have “innovated in the pursuit of healing,” as they overcome the many inherent hurdles of IBH. This interactive workshop is designed for IBH implementers and leaders who want to learn how to identify the challenges, strategies, and leadership skills needed to successfully implement IBH using qualitative research interviews. Through a didactic lecture, interspersed with worksheets and small group discussions, attendees will: (1) learn the steps for conducting qualitative research interviews and (2) develop an interview guide. Findings from a qualitative study of behavioral health providers in New Jersey will be used as a case example, complementing the small group exercises.
