Measuring the quality of interprofessional collaboration in child mental health collaborative care.

Objective: This pilot study examines the potential utility of the Perception of Interprofessional Collaboration Model and the shared decision-making scales in evaluating the quality of partnership in child mental health collaborative care.

Methods: Ninety-six primary care professionals working with children and youth responded to an internet survey which included the Perception of Interprofessional Collaboration Model scale (PINCOM-Q) and an adapted version of a shared decision-making scale (Échelle de confort décisionnel, partenaire-ECD-P). The perceptions of child mental health professionals were compared with those of other professionals working with children.
