2.Workshop goals
2
To highlight research & clinical innovation on maternal depression and adolescent mental health from PolicyLab at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
To discuss recent policy developments that could support maternal depression
3.icebreaker

Take 2 minutes to answer the following questions on your own and then be prepared to share with the group:
What do you see as the biggest challenge in your state related to maternal depression and/or young adult mental health? What are some of the programs or policies you are exploring?

8.Adolescent depression
8
Rates of depression surge in adolescence
Treatments can reduce only 1/3 of the disease burden
Early identification & prevention are key
22-38% of depression episodes can be prevented
Deliver these prevention programs in community settings to increase access
9.Clinical practice: Healthy minds healthy kids (HMHK)
9
Most youth with BH problems never receive treatment
At least half of primary care visits involve BH concerns
Integrated behavioral health offers an opportunity to identify youth early and get them into treatment
HMHK launched in 6 practices in 2016 with a plan for expansion
10.Adolescent depression screening

Background
Beginning in 2011, PHQ-9-M screener at 16 yo WCC 2017 screener at all WCC for ages 12-21
From 2011-2014: Screening rate of 76.25% across 27 primary care practices (n = 12,690)

Results
74.09% of patients had scores in the normal range
19.23% had scores in the subthreshold range, and
6.73% had scores in the threshold range
8.6% of patients (N = 597) were flagged for suicide risk

PEDIATRICS AS A HEALTH CARE TOUCHPOINT
3 in 10 high-risk mothers do not attend the recommended postpartum visit
Over 90 percent of children attend well-child visits once a year

Postpartum depression screening integrated with electronic medical record
Implemented through all 31 of CHOP’s Care Network sites at baby’s 2-month well visit
Screening is automated, assigned at check-in where the mother is given a tablet to complete the screening
Screening results flow into chart to be viewed by provider at visit; handouts, referral suggestions, follow-up recommended as needed
Since 2013, more than 46,000 screenings have been completed across the CHOP Care Network

21.Future directions
21
Screening and treatment for caregivers of children with developmental disabilities
Parents of children with developmental disabilities more likely to experience symptoms of depression
In order to improve parental depression support parent self-efficacy and family dynamics as a whole
Supporting caregivers with substance abuse challenges
Specialized services and collaborations around opioid addiction and comorbid mental health conditions
22.Co-locating and/or integrating behavioral health services, including:
Brief maternal health interventions within pediatric primary care
Telehealth services
Use of community health workers and care navigators to facilitate referrals
Future directions
22
Parenting adolescents: Stoneleigh fellowship
Help understand the needs of adolescent parents and male caregivers
Leverage pediatric clinical setting to improve how needs of these caregivers are addressed
23.Considerations for pediatric health systems
23
Unintended consequences in relationships with pediatricians
Fear of DHS involvement
Risk of compromising a trusted relationship between pediatrician and families
Impact on attendance at pediatric and sick visits
Protections in electronic medical records
Boundaries in pediatrician’s role
Adapting dyadic therapies to be more replicable and scalable
24.Time out
24
Turn to the person next to you and discuss the following:
How do these findings align with what you are seeing in your state?
Where do you think more research is necessary?
Do you think any of the pilots discussed (ex: home visiting co-location, Facebook, behavioral health integration) could work in your state?

26.Medicaid reimbursement in pediatric settings
…since the maternal depression screening is for the direct benefit of the child, state Medicaid agencies may allow such screenings to be claimed as a service for the child as part of the EPSDT benefit….
Mothers who are not Medicaid eligible may receive some benefit from diagnostic and treatment services directed at treating the health and well-being of the child (such as family therapy services) to reduce or treat the effects of the mother’s condition on the child…

With another partner, pick one of three policy topics discussed (Medicaid reimbursement, prevention reimbursement, early intervention referral) and discuss the following:
What would be the main challenges in moving this policy forward in your state?
Who are the major stakeholders you would need to engage?
What are some initial steps you could take to see this through?
