The benefits and harms of screening and treatment for anxiety and the accuracy of instruments to detect anxiety among primary care patients JAMANetwork anxiety mentalhealth primarycare primarycarepatients screening treatment healthcare
By Dr. Chinta SidharthanJun 22 2023Reviewed by Lily Ramsey, LLM In a recent study published in the JAMA Journal, researchers from the United States reviewed the risks and benefits of anxiety screening and treatment.
Furthermore, while there is a shortage of national-level data on the incidence of anxiety disorders, the impact of anxiety disorders on the quality of life and the economic burden associated with anxiety is well known. The study evaluated the current screening methods' accuracy to help the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force make recommendations for primary care patient anxiety screening.
All efforts to screen members of a specific group for anxiety, with the understanding that positive results would progress to clinical treatment, were considered valid screening programs. Even those programs that included referrals for support or recommendations for managing anxiety were included in the review.
The researchers also assessed whether the findings could be applied to the primary care populations and healthcare settings in the U.S.
