Clinical Outcome Measures

A literature search was conducted to find peer reviewed articles and reports that focus on the quality of integration between behavioral and physical health care settings. The literature search was limited to prevalent physical and mental health conditions that are commonly comorbid such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, depression, and anxiety.
