Summary

Depression, anxiety, and preventable physical diseases (e.g., obesity, cardiovascular) are interrelated and costly public health problems in Charleston county (Tricounty Community Health Needs Assessment Report, 2019). Given these complex and interrelated needs, the Behavioral Health Task Force of S.C. recommends the development of integrated mental and physical health services in settings such as primary care (S.C. Institute of Medicine and Public Health, 2016) that simultaneously address mental and physical health. Unfortunately, no known IMHWS models have been evaluated in the county or state. The purpose of this research study is to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluate the acceptability of the Modern Minds clinic and model, a novel IMHWS model in the Charleston area. We will be examining providers' and clients' satisfaction with model, as well as conducting interviews to understand how acceptable such a model would be to other communities.
