This Milbank-sponsored report explores the prevalence of childhood behavioral health problems; describe the need for, barriers to, and models of behavioral health integration (BHI) in pediatrics; and offer BHI policy and implementation considerations for policymakers, planners, and providers.

With support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened an expert committee to examine the evidence base for medications to treat OUD and to identify barriers that prevent people from accessing safe, effective, medication-based treatment. The resulting report, Medications for Opioid Use Disorder Save Lives, presents the committee’s findings and conclusions.

As a first step in much needed curriculum development in this area, this study sought to assess learner experiences regarding the management of behavioral health problems during residency. 

Educational policy makers need specific curricular information to inform the major re-structuring that medical education must undergo to meet society's need for improved mental health and psychosocial care.
