In partnership with the Virginia Mental Health Access Program, we are using the Virginia All-Payer Claims Database to identify characteristics of mental health care in the Commonwealth and inform training to strengthen the ability of primary care providers (PCPs) to manage the behavioral health needs of their pediatric patients.
