DBH Behavioral Health at Arizona State University

Programme overview

The DBH is an innovative and interdisciplinary applied program designed to prepare masters degree-level professionals to become experts in the emerging field of integrated behavioral care. Integrated care is the holistic treatment of both medical and behavioral conditions. When undetected and untreated, whether in primary care or other medical settings, the results are poor clinical outcomes and increased medical costs related to overuse of medical services.
