Cited in Scopus: 76Addressing the health status and needs of incarcerated youth represents an issue at the nexus of juvenile justice reform and health care reform. Incarcerated youth face disproportionately higher morbidity and higher mortality compared to the general adolescent population. Dental health, reproductive health, and mental health needs are particularly high, likely as a result of lower access to care, engagement in high-risk behaviors, and underlying health disparities. Violence exposure and injury also contribute to the health disparities seen in this population. - Immunization/Vaccination

- Katherine Gechter
- Allison Kempe
Cited in Scopus: 78With increased attention to the importance of translating research to clinical practice and policy, recent years have seen a proliferation of particular types of research, including pragmatic trials and dissemination and implementation research. Such research seeks to understand how and why interventions function in real-world settings, as opposed to highly controlled settings involving conditions not likely to be repeated outside the research study. Because understanding the context in which interventions are implemented is imperative for effective pragmatic trials and dissemination and implementation research, the use of mixed methods is critical to understanding trial results and the success or failure of implementation efforts. - In Brief

The Challenge of Reaching Adolescents to Promote Health Care
Academic PediatricsVol. 13Issue 3p184–185Published in issue: May, 2013- Simon J. Hambidge
Cited in Scopus: 2The challenge of providing appropriate preventive health services to adolescents is one familiar to all pediatricians who care for this population. Adolescents have fewer recommended preventive health medical visits than young children and may not have regular contact with the health care system. In recent years, new adolescent vaccines have been developed and recommended to provide protection against pertussis (TdaP), meningococcal meningitis (MCV4), and human papillomavirus (HPV), increasing the need for appropriate preventive health care. - Adolescents

In CCC, residents assume responsibility of care for a progressive number of well patients & those with complex/chronic problems on a regular, continuing basis. To develop proficiency in comprehensive care, the flow & efficiency of the clinic experience is vital. As second-year residents, we addressed communication related to immunization ordering/administration in our CCC as a targeted intervention to improve clinic flow & efficiency. - Resident QI Poster
Bundled Clinic-Based Intervention Improved 2-Dose Flu Vaccine Compliance

Cited in Scopus: 0Over 200,000 patients are hospitalized annually for influenza-related illness; kids are more vulnerable than healthy adults. Vaccination is the best prevention. Thus, the CDC recommends annual flu vaccination for all children aged 6 months through 18 years of age, with specific guidance that previously unimmunized children aged 6 months through 8 years should receive a 2-dose vaccine series during their first season of flu vaccination. Prior research demonstrates that while two doses of vaccine decreased the number of office visits for influenza-like illness (ILI), one dose of vaccine had no effect on visits for ILI. - Commentary

Cited in Scopus: 0In East Africa, when Masai warriors met one another, the traditional greeting was “Kasserian ingera,” which means “and how are the children?” It is relevant for pediatricians to ask ourselves this question with regard to the world's children. In an era of increasing industrialization, globalization, and sophisticated health care technologies, progress on improving indicators of children's health has been uneven. Global statistics reveal that in 2010, approximately 7.6 million children died before their 5th birthday. - Health Care Delivery Research

Cited in Scopus: 3Compared to battling the obesity epidemic or reducing rates of adolescent pregnancy, providing vaccines to children and adolescents seems like it would be simple. After all, it’s just a shot in the arm (or a spray up the nose). We have safe, effective vaccines to protect against numerous deadly illnesses. Pediatricians are particularly good at vaccinating patients due to a core value of focusing on prevention, as well as having vast opportunities to practice this behavior. The United States has a stable Federal entitlement program for children who lack insurance to cover vaccination costs (ie, the Vaccine for Children [VFC] program), and the majority of parents still choose to accept the recommended vaccination schedule. - Index

By the end of the decade, the sentiment of individuals such as Loren MacKinney was that it was time “to actually do some work.”2 Barbara Korsch surveyed the meeting participants to determine what that work might be. - PAS 2010 Speeches from the 2010 APA Presidential Plenary-Celebrating the APA's 50th Anniversary
