Abstract
(type = abstract)
Purpose of Project: The aim of the DNP project was to improve early detection of Generalized Anxiety Disorder in the primary care setting by routine screening of adult patients with the Generalized Anxiety Disorder -7 (GAD-7) screening tool.
Methodology: The project was conducted at two different primary care practices located in Budd Lake, New Jersey and Freehold, New Jersey. It began with a one-month preintervention chart review to examine the number of patients identified with Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Then, twenty-five participants from each site, regardless of their chief complaint, completed the GAD-7 survey. Majority of participants were middle-aged Caucasian men.
Results: Eight percent of participants scored an eight or higher on the screening tool thus prompting a discussion with their provider.
Implications for Practice: The project demonstrated the importance of utilizing the GAD-7 tool in primary care to address underdiagnosis and undertreatment of this disease, which in turn may improve medical, mental, and quality of life outcomes.
