PAS Educational Workshop
Leader: Thomas N. Robinson, Stanford, CA; Co-leaders: Dennis M. Bier, Vivica I. Kraak

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) Committee on Prevention of Obesity in Children and Youth is charged with assessing the nature of obesity in children and youth in the United States and developing a prevention-oriented action plan to reduce its prevalence. A summary of the report's findings and recommendations will be presented with a focus on public health approaches that promote energy balance by integrating diet and physical activity interventions at home, schools, medical care settings and in communities. Discussion and question-and-answer sessions with members of the Committee will address responses to the recommendations and public and policy reactions after the initial release. Participants will then create an individual action plan to advocate for their choices of specific recommendations.

Objectives:

  1. Participants will become familiar with the concept of energy balance and be able to identify factors that contribute to obesogenic environments and promising public health approaches that support obesity prevention in children and youth.

  2. Participants will develop a personal plan of action for implementing specific IOM recommendations when they return home from the meeting.

Method of Instruction: Brief presentation of highlighted IOM Committee results followed by (a) question-and-answer, (b) group discussion, and (c) development of action plans.

4503—Neonatal Follow-Up: A Global Perspective
PAS Mini Course
Chair: Maureen Hack, Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, OH

The increase in survival of extremely immature infants, together with the institution of randomized clinical trials to assess the efficacy and safety of the many technologic and pharmacologic advances in perinatal care, has led to a renewed interest in current outcomes and the methodologic issues related to high-risk follow-up. Questions include the practicality of actual assessment of children versus the reliability of parental reports and age of follow-up. Traditional measures of outcome have included mainly cognitive and neurosensory function, but there is increasing interest in the overall functioning of the child, as well as other measures of health including health status and quality of life. This session will review epidemiologic principles and state of the art measures of cognitive and neuropsychologic assessment, neurologic impairment, including cerebral palsy, health status, growth and quality of life. The presentations will be illustrated with examples of recent outcome studies. Audience participation will be encouraged.

Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved with clinical care and research pertaining to the results of neonatal intensive care.

6101—Understanding the New Pediatric Morbidities: Evidence from the Centers for Children’s Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research
PAS Topic Symposium
Chair: Ruth A. Etzel, George Washington University School of Public Health and Human Services, Washington, DC

Learning disorders, ADHD, developmental delay, asthma and depression are among the chronic conditions referred to as the “new pediatric morbidities.” There is growing evidence that environmental disruption and chronic exposure to synthetic chemicals contribute to these new morbidities. The 12 Centers for Children’s Environmental Health and Disease Prevention Research funded by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the U.S. EPA are contributing to our understanding of the effects of environmental exposures on children’s health. Participants in this session will learn about findings related to asthma and neurobehavioral impairment and gain new understanding of conditions that affect growing numbers of U.S. children.

Target Audience: Pediatricians, academic generalists, health services researchers, environmental health scientists, developmental–behavioral pediatricians and pediatric pulmonologists.

PAS Special Symposium
Chair: Elena Fuentes-Afflick, University of California, San Francisco, CA

National Children's Study Moves To Implementation

The National Children’s Study, a longitudinal study of the impact of environmental exposures on the health, growth and well being of children, has moved into the implementation phase with the public release of the Study Plan and the 96 locations throughout the United States where the study will be conducted. Two national competitive Requests for Proposals were announced in November 2004 for the initial “Vanguard” centers and the Coordinating Center. This process creates the basic structure to develop the final protocol and initiate recruitment of subjects in 2006. The Study Plan calls for 30-50 additional centers to be selected in 2006-2007 to enable the study to be fully operational. 

This special symposium will outline the study plan and describe the current strategy to move forward with the implementation of the National Children’s Study.

Target Audience: Policymakers, Researchers, Clinicians

7101—Inner-City Asthma Intervention Program: Research to Practice
PAS Topic Symposium
Chair: Pamela R. Wood, University of Texas Health Sciences Center at San Antonio, San Antonio, TX

The National Cooperative Inner City Asthma Intervention (NCICAIS) is an asthma counselor (AC), social-worker-driven intervention for inner-city children with persistent asthma. Although the AC intervention was shown to decrease symptom days in a randomized, controlled trial, there were no data on implementation of this intervention outside the research setting. In 2001, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention funded a 4-year program to implement the asthma counselor model in 22 sites. This “research to practice” session will explore lessons learned through the implementation process and the implications for researchers, clinicians and policy makers.

Target Audience: General pediatricians, pulmonologists, allergists and other health professionals who care for children with asthma; health services researchers; and program planners.

7303—Pediatric Biopreparedness: Dual-Use Systems for Everyday and Times of Trouble
PAS State of the Art Plenary
Chairs: Michael W. Shannon, Children's Hospital Boston, Boston, MA; and Kenneth D. Mandl, Children's Hospital Boston, Boston, MA

Addressing the medical and public health consequences of an emerging infection, a naturally occurring outbreak or a bioterrorist attack requires well-developed capabilities for detection, analysis and response. In the context of national preparedness there has been heavy investment to develop these capabilities, but only limited attention has been paid to the unique needs of the pediatric population. Further, the use of these systems for every day problems as well as disasters is critical if the efforts are to be sustainable.

A multidisciplinary faculty from the Center for Biopreparedness at Children’s Hospital Boston will present leading-edge research on (1) public health informatics for the real-time epidemiology of outbreaks of infectious disease among children, (2) approaches to development and dissemination of principles of pediatric bioterrorism response and (3) the dual use of biopreparedness technology.

Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians involved in bioterrorism preparedness efforts, emergency medicine, public health and epidemiology.
