Anxiety Screening in a Rural Primary Care Setting

Abstract

Anxiety disorders are one of the most commonly occurring mental health condition. It is recommended to screen for anxiety in adults under the age of 65, but there is insufficient research to make this recommendation for older adults. Caledonia County in northeastern Vermont is a rural area with a large proportion of older adults, and this unique population could benefit from anxiety screening.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/2209/thumbnail.jp
