DESCRIPTION (See the References tab for research citations.) This introductory course for pediatric primary care practitioners (PPCPs) provides a comprehensive overview of the identification, assessment, and management of anxiety, depression and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in the primary care setting. By completing this course, PPCPs can acquire the core mental health competencies1 essential for the safe and effective management of mild to moderate presentations of these common disorders. The course begins with the rationale for providing behavioral health services in pediatric primary care, including the preference of patients to receive behavioral health care in their convenient, trusted medical home. The course then proceeds to introduce a straightforward, four-step model of care for anxiety, depression, and ADHD in the pediatric setting, entailing screening, assessment, primary care treatment, and referral for specialty care treatment. The course includes detailed information about universal behavioral health screening for children and adolescents; guided self-management tools for preventive management of sub-clinical behavioral health concerns; focused behavioral health assessment for the primary care setting; and evidence-based, first-line medications for anxiety, depression, and ADHD. The course also provides an overview of evidence-based psychotherapies for these disorders to guide brief psychotherapeutic interventions by PPCPs, and an overview of adjunctive home and school-based supports. Indications for referral to specialty behavioral health care also are reviewed. The course concludes with a summary of the information presented, along with resources to support the provision of behavioral health care to pediatric patients, including a Clinical Manual for Pediatric Practitioners; a series of educational flyers for families on Understanding Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, and Behavior Problems; and Guided Self-Management Toolkits for Families. The course also recommends Clinical Practice Guidelines/Clinical Updates developed by the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry2-4 and the American Academy of Pediatrics5 for advanced learning. Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, participants will be able to: COURSE FORMAT (each session approximates 15-20 minutes in duration) COURSE BACKGROUND (See the References tab for research citations.) Psychiatric disorders are estimated to occur in 15 million children and adolescents in the United States, with annual total costs approximating $12 billion.6 Despite effective treatments, because of the protracted shortage of child-trained behavioral health specialists,7 many youth with psychiatric disorders receive no or untimely services.8 Untreated child and adolescent psychiatric disorders persist over decades, become increasingly intractable to treatment, and incur progressively greater social, educational, occupational, and economic consequences over time.9 More than one-half of pediatric primary care visits address behavioral health problems,and PPCPs write the majority of psychotropic medication prescriptions for youth.10 The psychiatric disorders presenting most commonly in pediatric practices are anxiety, depression, and ADHD, at least three-quarters of which are mild to moderate in severity. If PPCPs can become confident and skilled in identifying, assessing, and managing mild to moderate presentations of these disorders, then child and adolescent psychiatrists and other scarce specialty behavioral health resources could be conserved for the management of severe, complex, unsafe, and treatment-unresponsive disorders. In this way, PPCPs can play a key role in narrowing the gap between the millions of youths needing effective BH services and those receiving them. The Behavioral Health Education for Pediatric Primary Care course was developed by the Boston Children’s Hospital Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Boston Children’s Hospital Pediatric Physicians’ Organization at Children’s (PPOC). The course was initially created as one of the three components (behavioral health education, child psychiatry consultation, integrated practice transformation) of a behavioral health integration program (BHIP) implemented in Massachusetts among the PPOC’s 500 PPCPs. The published findings from BHIP have demonstrated acquisition of target behavioral health knowledge, skills, and confidence by participating PPCPs, increased access to behavioral health services in the pediatric primary care setting, and high acceptability, feasibility, adoption, penetration, and sustainability of the program.11-13 Since the initial implementation in the PPOC, the educational course has been successfully exported to PPCPs in the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, Connecticut Children’s Hospital, and Collier County, Florida pediatric practice networks.

Disclosures
The RITA-T is an empirically derived, level-2 interactive measure that has been developed to screen for autism spectrum disorders in toddlers 18 to 36 months of age. Early Childhood and Health care providers can become trained to administer the RITA-T, which can be integrated into diverse settings to better screen and identify toddlers who are high risk and need further diagnostic evaluation. The screening test consist of 9 items and takes about 10 minutes to administer and score. Each of the 9 activities designed to evaluate five developmental constructs known to represent early signs of ASD in toddlers 18-36 months.
This online training program has been designed to mirror the in-person training protocol as best as possible. The content provided, requirements for certification, and time required for completion are all equal to what is offered in the live training. Efforts have been made to provide trainees with enough content to answer questions without additional support, however we understand there may be times when there are specific questions and we will answer this questions in a reasonable amount of time. It is important to note that this is an interactive screening test, and you should seek further diagnostic testing and consult your pediatrician if you have concerns for ASD.

Welcome and Orientation
Overview
Stroke is among the top ten causes of child mortality and may cause lifelong disability. Rapid recognition and the institution of new hyperacute treatments can improve outcomes, yet the diagnosis is often delayed or missed.
This course was created by expert faculty from the Boston Children’s Hospital Stroke and Cerebrovascular Center to support your development as an institutional champion for improving the care of children with pediatric stroke. You will leave with an action plan for an educational or clinical practice/quality improvement intervention and a certificate of successful completion. “Pediatric Stroke Champions” utilizes highly engaging learning methods that have been proven effective in promoting long-term knowledge gains.
Course Format
This highly interactive and personalized format combines an engaging live/synchronous online workshop component with flexible asynchronous opportunities for self-directed learning and interaction with subject matter experts. This course will empower participants to become “pediatric stroke champions” who will then disseminate knowledge and practice changes back to their home institutions through developing educational resources for their teams or creating stroke rapid response pathways.
Participants will first develop core background knowledge with self-paced pre-course learning through a combination of key references in multiple media, reflection on current practice and goals, and self-assessment knowledge questions. The live/synchronous portion of the course will be interactive and discussion-based with case examples, small group exercises, and panel discussions with faculty subject matter experts. Following the course, participants will continue to engage with faculty in a community of practice as they return to their home institutions to implement their action plans.
Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Recognize the presenting signs and symptoms of possible pediatric stroke, particularly in high-risk populations such as children with sickle cell disease or congenital heart disease
- Initiate optimal evaluation, management, and possible referral of suspected pediatric stroke in response to presentations in various locations and contexts, including in-hospital, out-of-hospital, and emergency care
- Demonstrate awareness of long-term management and outcomes of pediatric stroke
- Partner with colleagues and systems at their home institution to raise awareness of pediatric stroke and plan responses to possible stroke presentations
