Summary

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the acceptability and preliminary efficacy of a universal prevention program delivered by psychologists in conjunction with pediatric primary care well-child visits.

Detailed description

Integrated behavioral health has emerged as an effective approach to addressing emotional and behavioral health needs of children in the pediatric setting, yet there is little evidence for a standardized model of care for providing universal preventive services in pediatric primary care. Current models are typically loosely constructed, inconsistently applied, and unspecified. Our aim is to evaluate a model of care developed to address these gaps. Integrated Behavioral Health-Prevention (IBH-P) is a collection of clinical strategies and structured approaches designed to promote emotional and behavioral health. IBH-P is delivered by psychologists in the pediatric setting as part of scheduled well-child visits. The overall objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the intervention in promoting infant self-regulation. Maternal experience and satisfaction, adherence to well-child visits and immunizations will also be examined.
