This study aims to enhance pediatric primary care to make it more responsive to psychosocial needs facing many families. We hypothesized that by identifying and addressing certain problems, such as depressed mothers, parental drug use, and domestic violence, we would help decrease child abuse and neglect.


Description:

This study aims to enhance pediatric primary care to make it more responsive to psychosocial needs facing many families. We hypothesized that by identifying and addressing certain problems, such as depressed mothers, parental drug use, and domestic violence, we would help decrease child abuse and neglect. The first step was to train pediatric residents on the importance of addressing the targeted problems. Then, we developed a brief screening tool to use when children under six years came in for the regular checkups. Parents would complete this while waiting for their doctor. Finally, the doctor and/or social worker would try address any problems the parent identified.

Intervention

Behavioral:
Enhanced pediatric primary care
Residents received special training to address targeted psychosocial problems. Parents bringing in children (0 - 5 years) completed a screening questionnaire and gave this to their doctor. The resident briefly assessed the identified problems and helped address them. A social worker was present to assist.
Standard pediatric primary care
Residents did not receive special training on the targeted psychosocial problems. They did not use the parent screening questionnaire, and they did not have a dedicated social worker.
