Abstract
This study assesses the utility of the primary care behavioral health screener (PCBHS), which the authors have adapted and translated for adult Bosnian refugees (PCBHS-B) living in the Midwest area of the United States, who utilized primary care services within a private physician clinic and a federally qualified health center. The study was conducted from March 2012–April 2013 and included 131 Bosnian respondents, 24% of whom were receiving behavioral health services. Similar to a non-Bosnian U.S. sample, one-third (34.4%) of the respondents experienced clinically significant symptoms. Results suggest that the PCBHS-B can be a useful and acceptable instrument for identifying behavioral health problems in Bosnian primary care patients.
