Increasing Access to Evidence-Based Care in Integrated Behavioral Health

Implementation of Single Session Interventions in Integrated Behavioral Health: Increasing Access to Evidence-based Care

The purpose of this research is to explore whether a single-session therapy visit may be of interest to patients seeking mental health services in Mayo Clinic's Integrated Behavioral Health program and whether a single-session therapy visit may be helpful in improving mental health. Researchers hope to better understand whether single-session visits could be a helpful option to offer patients in the future.
