Abstract : Primary care physicians have an important role in identifying treating and referring children with psychosocial problems. However there is a limited literature describing whether and how family physicians address psychosocial problems and why parents may not discuss childrens problems with physicians. The current study examined how family physicians address psychosocial problems and reasons that parents do not discuss childrens psychosocial problems with physicians. Results indicated that there are a variety of reasons involving parents their perceptions of physicians and the number of psychosocial problems reported that may lead to fewer discussions of psychosocial problems.
