People often don’t realize how you, as clinicians, administrators, researchers, can assist in helping answer important questions that can help support the evidence behind PCBH and identify the fundamentals to improve its success when implemented, but you can. By reviewing two existing frameworks describing the active ingredients and mechanisms of PCBH, this presentation will assist you in learning how you can help. You will learn about those frameworks and how you can in small ways incorporate it into your program evaluation or research efforts to assist.
