Sleep-related infant deaths are a common and preventable cause of infant mortality in the United States. Moreover, infants of color are at a greater risk of sleep-related deaths than are White infants. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) published safe sleep guidelines to minimize the number of sleep-related infant deaths; however,...
Sleep-related deaths are a common preventable cause of death, and such deaths occur disproportionately in families of color.

This study evaluated the efficacy of a program to train home visitors...
Behavioral aspects of organized sports activity for pediatric athletes are considered in a world consumed with winning at all costs. In the first part of this treatise, we deal with a number of themes faced by our children in their sports play. These concepts include the lure of sports, sports attrition, the mental health of pediatric athletes (i.e...
The integrated behavioral health care model in primary care has the potential to reduce barriers to care experienced by children and families from ethnic minorities and low socioeconomic status. Limited access to pediatric behavioral health care is a significant problem, with up to 40% of children and adolescents with identified mental disorders an...
Acne vulgaris is a chronic, inflammatory, skin condition that involves the pilosebaceous follicles and is influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, androgen-stimulation of sebaceous glands with abnormal keratinization, colonization with Cutibacterium acnes (previously called Propionibacterium acnes), and pathological immune response to...

... Another challenge related to education and dissemination was variation in community-level providers' education around ISS and breastfeeding and training on sensitive message delivery. While studies depict barriers for paraprofessional and community-focused education models on recommended ISS practices [44], efforts to train providers on education strategies improve client outcomes [45,54]. Providing ISS and breastfeeding training opportunities for paraprofessionals [45] as well as cultural sensitivity trainings targeted on message dissemination [54] enhance the quality of support clients receive and their ISS and breastfeeding outcomes [45,54]. ...
... These models show promise in both improving accessibility to mental health care and treatment outcomes (Asarnow et al., 2015). While evidence solely focusing on Black families within IPC is limited, racially and ethnically minoritized families may be more likely to report behavioral health concerns in a primary care setting and less likely to seek out services in traditional outpatient mental health settings (Dickson et al., 2021). Taken together, IPC shows potential in its ability to provide services to Black families while reducing barriers to care. ...
