Summary

This study tests a program that encourages general practitioners (family doctors) to stay involved when teenagers receive mental health care. Researchers will track whether the teen's doctor is contacted during treatment. The study includes 1,400 young people aged 11-25 in France. It aims to see if this approach improves communication between mental health services and primary care.
