This project will use telemedicine to improve the behavioral health outcomes of rural Michigan adolescents, by increasing the recognition of depression and providing timely and effective treatment. Altarum and its partners will train 45 primary care and family clinicians across 15 practices to provide universal screening for depression among adolescents; enact appropriate follow-up protocols and monitoring; and establish telehealth services linking vulnerable youth to providers who specialize in adolescent mental health.
