%X Research on chronic diseases has shown that family members of patients are at increased
risk for depression and anxiety and would likely benefit from routine screening for
mental health issues; however, little research has been conducted to specifically
investigate whether caregivers of patients with primary immunodeficiencies are routinely
screened. The goal of this study was to assess how frequently providers are currently
screening for mental health concerns among caregivers of patients with primary immunodeficiencies
and to identify providers¡¯ perceived barriers to caregiver screening.
