The goal of the Academy s TEAMSS project (Transformative & Evidence-based Approaches to Mental health & Substance use Screening) is to leverage quality improvement techniques and clinician and health care staff education to improve substance use screening and appropriate follow-up, as well as improve screening for depression and suicide risk for patients between 12 and 18 years of age. The development of this learning health system will provide hands-on training to pediatric offices throughout the United States by sharing recommendations from national experts. Specifically, quality improvement projects using the Model for Improvement are particularly well suited for substance use/mental health work at the practice level. Through the learning network, practices will have the opportunity to test strategies to improve office workflows and processes to standardize substance use screening, assessment of severity level of use, substance use positive screening follow-up, depression & suicide risk screening, depression & suicide positive screening follow-up, and collaboration with community organizations and resources involved in similar efforts. In addition, project participants will demonstrate improved levels of knowledge and confidence in the following areas: 1. Screening for substance use 2. Screening for depression 3. Screening for suicide risk 4. Performing brief safety suicide assessment 5. Performing brief intervention for substance use 6. Performing brief intervention for depression 7. Performing brief intervention for suicide risk
