To examine associations between preschooler screen time trajectories and executive functions and effortful control at age 5.

To examine the experience of Medicaid Accountable Care Organizations (ACOs) that include pediatric practices, including their motivations and experiences working together.

Clinical reasoning (CR) includes numerous essential skills for clinicians, but how these skills are assessed in pediatric residency training is not well described. This study aimed to explore pediatric residency program leader perspectives on clinical reasoning assessment and identification of trainee deficiencies in this area.

The pediatric emergency department is a high-value site for screening and resource referral for health-related social needs. However, best practices for this unique environment remain unclear. This study's objective was to introduce a consensus-based social care training toolkit for the pediatric emergency medicine (PEM) setting.

To understand the feelings of pediatrics residents early in the COVID-19 pandemic and to offer insights still relevant today.

Mandatory enrollment into Medicaid-contracted Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) is the most common form of Medicaid managed care (MMC), but the effects of this enrollment on children are unclear. We leveraged variation in MMC implementation within and across states over time to examine the effect of mandatory Medicaid HMO enrollment on children's access, utilization, and health outcomes.

HPV infection is associated with a large burden of disease prevalence, morbidity, and known disparities. HPV vaccination rates remain lower than other childhood immunizations, despite vaccine safety and effectiveness. The objective of this QI intervention was to improve HPV vaccination rate by 15% over 3-years through early initiation and analyze trends across health disparities.

Pediatric clinician educators face the challenge of juggling clinical practice with teaching responsibilities. The balancing act is even more challenging when one considers the need to stay current with evidence from clinical and medical education literature. In this narrative review of 2023 medical education literature, the Academic Pediatric Association Education Committee's Top Articles team summarizes high-yield articles that possess the potential to significantly influence pediatric clinician educator teaching and practice. A standardized blinded rubric was applied to identify the most impactful articles from 19 medical education and specialty journals. Final selections were categorized into six domains: artificial intelligence and technology, belonging in the learning environment, bias in the workplace, clinical learning, curriculum and assessment, and family and community partnerships. The reviewers summarize key findings from the top articles and describe implications for pediatric clinician educator practice.

To understand the association between food insecurity (FI) and housing insecurity (HI) risk, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on health-related activities among children with overweight or obesity, and caregivers' and clinicians' challenges and priorities related to pediatric weight management.

(1) To quantify hospital-level variation in use of neuroimaging to screen for intracranial injury (ICI) among infants without overt signs or symptoms of head trauma undergoing subspecialty evaluations for physical abuse; (2) to assess for disproportionality in neuroimaging based on race/ethnicity and insurance type.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) prescribing is increasingly being integrated into primary care but few data are available about prescribing patterns by pediatric primary care clinicians (PCCs) following implementation of integrated behavioral health (BH) care.

This qualitative analysis offers an actionable, stepwise approach to remediation.

More than 16% of children in the U.S. have a behavioral health (BH) disorder but less than half receive recommended care. Integrated BH programs in primary care settings can address gaps in BH care. This qualitative study sought to understand pediatric primary care clinicians' experiences with the novel multi-component Behavioral Health Integration Program (BHIP) in a large network of independent pediatric practices and to identify potential barriers and facilitators for implementation of such programs.
