Abstract

Anxiety disorders are the most common form of mental disorders worldwide, with nearly 1 in 5 primary patients currently meeting criteria for at least one anxiety disorder (Combs & Markman, Med Clin 98(5):1007–1023, 2014). This high prevalence points to a vital need to both be able to detect anxiety issues sooner as well as intervene earlier in the hopes of preventing the development of any anxiety disorder. The accessibility of primary care in particular makes it an ideal location for prevention efforts. The goal of this chapter, therefore, is to provide a tool kit for providers working in integrated primary care settings to help screen for, identify, and intervene effectively to help prevent anxiety symptoms, or to help prevent anxiety symptoms from becoming worse. First, definitions, diagnostic criteria, and prevalence data for anxiety disorders will be reviewed. Next, risk factors will be reviewed to help raise awareness of warning signs that can indicate the need for increased awareness of possible anxiety symptoms in patients. The chapter will conclude by offering suggestions on methods of screening for anxiety symptoms as well as outlining a stepped-care model that can be used as a framework for building interventions to aid in the prevention of anxiety disorders and anxiety symptoms.
