Strategies for Scaling Tested and Effective Family-Focused Preventive Interventions to Promote Children’s Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health: A Workshop
Hosted by the IOM-NRC Forum on Promoting Children’s Cognitive, Affective, and Behavioral Health
April 1-2, 2014
Lecture Room National Academy of Sciences Building 2101 Constitution Ave., NW, Washington, DC
AGENDA
Research has advanced understanding of the risk, promotive, and protective factors within families that influence children’s health and well-being. Science consistently indicates the important role of families in shaping child and adolescent health outcomes through genetics, behavior, environment, and their inherent dynamic interactions. Early childhood conditions in the home, mediated by caregiver behaviors such as nutrition, physical activity, communication styles, sleep, and stress management, shape health and well-being across the life course. Families can create resilience or can increase risk for later negative cognitive, affective, and behavioral outcomes.
Objective: This workshop will address the successes and challenges of scaling family-focused interventions to the real world for promoting children’s cognitive, affective, and behavioral health. A range of settings involved in preventive family-focused interventions will be highlighted, including primary care settings, schools, and homes. The workshop will explore issues of funding, such as the role of the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act (ACA), in promoting family-focused prevention interventions. Collectively, this knowledge will be used to explore new and innovative ways to broaden the reach and demand for effective programs and to generate alternative paradigms for strengthening families.
