Moving From Research to Practice in the Primary Care of Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
Academic PediatricsVol. 13Issue 5p390–399Published in issue: September, 2013- Paul S. Carbone
Cited in Scopus: 25Autism spectrum disorders (ASD), once thought rare, are now commonly encountered in clinical practice. Academic pediatricians may be expected to teach medical students and pediatric residents about ASD, but most likely received limited exposure to ASD during their training. In recent years, research that informs the clinical guidance provided to pediatricians regarding surveillance, screening, and ongoing management of children with ASD has accelerated. By 24 months of age, children with ASD exhibit delays across multiple domains of development, yet the diagnosis is frequently made much later. - Mental Health, ADHD, Autism

Cited in Scopus: 51In 2009, a publicly transparent evidence-informed process responded to the requirement of the Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act (CHIPRA) legislation to identify an initial core set of recommended children’s health care quality measures for voluntary use by Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program, which together cover almost 40 million of America’s children and adolescents. Future efforts under CHIPRA will be used to improve and strengthen the initial core set, develop new measures as needed, and post improved core measure sets annually beginning in January 2013. - Prevention

16. Obesity and Overweight - Do Resident Physicians Recognize and Document in an at Risk Population?
Academic PediatricsVol. 10Issue 4e9Published in issue: July, 2010- Sarah Yount
- Kerry Sease
Cited in Scopus: 0The rapid increase in obesity and overweight children in the general pediatric population is a significant concern for practicing pediatricians. A recent press release sponsored by the Piedmont Healthcare Foundation found 41% of Greenville County youth overweight or obese - above the SC state rate 31.5% and the National rate 28.8%. Knowing the associated morbidity and mortality of obesity, development of a protocol to identify and treat an at risk population at the Center for Pediatric Medicine (CPM) was felt necessary. - Child and Adolescent Mental Health

The Contribution of Dietary Factors to Dental Caries and Disparities in Caries

- Susan E. Coldwell
Cited in Scopus: 100Frequent consumption of simple carbohydrates, primarily in the form of dietary sugars, is significantly associated with increased dental caries risk. Malnutrition (undernutrition or overnutrition) in children is often a consequence of inappropriate infant and childhood feeding practices and dietary behaviors associated with limited access to fresh, nutrient dense foods, substituting instead high-energy, low-cost, nutrient-poor sugary and fatty foods. Lack of availability of quality food stores in rural and poor neighborhoods, food insecurity, and changing dietary beliefs resulting from acculturation, including changes in traditional ethnic eating behaviors, can further deter healthful eating and increase risk for early childhood caries and obesity. - Commentary
Obesity Prevention and Control: From Clinical Tools to Public Health Strategies
Academic PediatricsVol. 9Issue 5p291–292Published in issue: September, 2009- Brook Belay
- William H. Dietz
Cited in Scopus: 3Four papers in this issue of Academic Pediatrics address several key aspects of the clinical and community approach to the obesity epidemic. Despite the centrality of body mass index to the assessment of obesity, the study by Oettinger and colleagues1 demonstrates that few parents in that sample had a clear understanding of the meaning of the measure. Nonetheless, the color-coding intervention of the growth charts to demonstrate healthy weight, overweight, and obesity increased parental understanding of risk. - Commentary
Getting a Handle on the Media: Where Should We Focus Our Efforts?
Academic PediatricsVol. 9Issue 5p289–290Published in issue: September, 2009- James D. Sargent
Cited in Scopus: 1Concern about adverse effects of entertainment media have been around since movies were first exhibited in this country in 1896. Just 11 years later, Chicago became one of the first cities to censor movies, when the city council empowered the chief of police to deny permits for exhibitors to show movies with objectionable content. If denied a permit, the movie producer was required to cut scenes to meet the censor's standards. Despite ongoing concern about the “powerful” effects of entertainment media, until recently there were few studies actually linking entertainment media to what we now call risky behaviors. - Obesity/Built Environment
