What is integrated behavioral health?

Integrated behavioral health combines primary and behavioral health care into a single approach. The result is better patient outcomes. This dual strategy will continue to influence the broader world of health care for years to come.

  • Behavioral health care.
  • Medical literacy.
  • Population-based health.

The goal is to provide you with the skills necessary for success in integrated primary care. Students who are pursuing a leadership role in the field should also consider the management certificate.

What are the goals of integrated behavioral health care?

The core goal of integrated behavioral health care is a thoughtful combination of behavioral and primary care. Integrated behavioral health has three areas of growth called the Triple Aim:

Will my integrated behavioral health clinical certificate say 'online'?

No, Arizona State University’s diplomas don’t specify whether you earn your degree online or in person. All diplomas and transcripts simply say “Arizona State University.” That’s because ASU Online students learn from the same faculty and receive the same course content as in-person students receive.
