Lurie Children's Helps Train Pediatricians to Screen Toddlers for Mental Health Risk, with Equity and Ethics in Mind

Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 16:55:57 EST

One in five children has an identified mental health problem as early as age 3. Early detection is key to earlier intervention, and it also could prevent more severe conditions down the line, such as ADHD, depression and anxiety. Pediatric primary care is an ideal setting to conduct screening for mental health risk, given that pediatricians tend to have close, ongoing relationships with young patients and their families, and broad reach to historically marginalized communities. Since mental health screening of toddlers in primary care is uncommon, it is important to train pediatricians to do so without implicit bias and in a way that prevents unintended consequences, such as increased stigma.
