Current approach in assessment and diagnosis of mental health conditions. Figures A and B show current referral practices (treating, managing, assessing, and diagnosing) for nine mental health conditions at the three time points of the study. Lower average scores indicate a tendency of the trained physician to refer patients with the disorder, while higher scores indicate a tendency to assess, diagnose, treat, and manage themselves. Average scores for all disorders increase from pre-training to 3-day post-training but stabilize at the 6-month pos- training timepoint. The total score for assessment and diagnosis (C) ranked from 9 to 45 (since the individual scale is from 1 to 5. The total score for treatment and management ranked from 9 to 54 (since the individual scale is from 1 to 6). Thicker lines (ADHD, Anxiety, Depression) indicate disorders that were the primary focus of the training. Dashed lines indicate disorders that were the least focus of the training
