Ruth A. Etzel, George Washington University School of
Public Health and Health Services, Washington, DC
Pollution knows no borders, and efforts to protect
children from hazards in the environment have increasingly
recognized that some of the highest exposures to children
occur in the developing world. This 6-hour mini course
will provide pediatricians with information about
exposures, treatments and prevention of diseases linked to
environmental contamination.
Target Audience: Scientists and clinicians who are
interested in the problems facing children in the low- and
middle-income countries will learn about selected
environmental health issues from experts who have worked
in international settings.

4104—Pediatricians
and Oral Health: Science, Education, Practice and Policy
PAS Mini Course
Chair:
David M. Krol, The Children's Health Fund, New York, NY
Oral health is an integral part of overall health. In
spite of improvements in the oral health of U.S. children
over the past 25 years, significant and consequential
disparities in oral health exist. Dental caries, a
preventable, infectious disease process that begins in
early childhood, disproportionately affects poor and
minority children. Proven prevention strategies, changes
in organizational policy and the challenge of providing a
true medical home present pediatricians with an
opportunity to play a role in improving child oral health.
This session will begin with an overview of the
epidemiology of childhood oral disease, the science of
dental caries and the knowledge base of physicians. Next,
educational efforts and practical intervention strategies
will be discussed. Finally, child oral health policy and
advocacy issues will be presented. After each
presentation, an audience discussion will take place to
strategize how best to approach the inclusion of oral
health and improve the communication of oral health issues
within the pediatric profession, between the medical and
dental worlds and among policymakers.
Target Audience: Appeal will be to pediatricians in
practice, policy, advocacy and education interested in
expanding the knowledge of themselves, their students,
policymakers and professional organizations on the
importance of child oral health and the policy, practice
and educational issues surrounding the role of
pediatricians in its improvement.

The purpose of this workshop is to expand the
participants' skills in advocating for high-risk,
underserved communities through local involvement.
Concentration on reviewing and analyzing data to target
problems in a community, assessing the needs of the
community members, obtaining community support and
utilizing existing resources will be addressed. How to
utilize this model to prevent injuries will be the example
given, yet this model could work to employ any community
intervention. Experiences from the staff and participants
along with evidence of best techniques will be discussed.
Objectives:
-
Review and analyze data to target problems within a
high-risk community.
-
Mobilize and empower a high-risk community to prevent
injuries among their youth.
Method of Instruction: Powerpoint presentation, amall
work group break-out sessions, problem solving and sharing

4500—Domestic
Violence: The Role of the Pediatric Provider
PAS/SAM Mini Course
Chair:
Sheryl Ryan, University of Rochester School of Medicine,
Rochester General Hospital, Rochester, NY
This mini course will focus on the problem of
domestic violence as a pediatric issue, its direct and
indirect effects on children and their caregivers and the
specific challenges facing pediatricians in screening,
preventing and intervening.
The initial part of this mini course will focus on
the extent of the problem of domestic violence, its
overlap with child abuse, the health consequences for both
children and families and strategies for identification in
both primary care and emergency settings. The second part
will focus on approaches to intervention, legal aspects of
domestic violence specific to mandated reporters and how
to create interdisciplinary collaborations across the many
agencies that may serve as resources for pediatricians.
Finally, we will address training tools that have been
developed for physicians in the areas of both prevention
and intervention of domestic violence and child abuse.
Discussion following each of the sections will offer the
opportunity for group input.
Target Audience: General pediatricians, pediatric
emergency medicine specialists and providers working in
child protection and advocacy.

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.

Henry H. Bernstein, Boston, MA; Co-leader: Gregory S
Blaschke
Pediatrics in Practice, a Bright Futures-based health
promotion curriculum designed for pediatric training
programs to support educators and clinicians to
communicate health-promoting messages to families and
children, was created by the Bright Futures Health
Promotion Workgroup. Dramatic changes are taking place in
today's health care environment, and this curriculum
provides an opportunity to advance and foster ACGME-recommended
competencies for future health professionals. PediatricsinPractice.org
helps residents gain knowledge and skills teaching health
content (partnership, communication, health promotion,
time management, education and advocacy) to their learners
to facilitate effective patient interaction and care.
Child health educators new to or developing skills in
teaching health promotion content will learn to
effectively convey this content utilizing proven teaching
strategies (brainstorming, reflective exercise, buzz
group, case discussion, mini-presentation, role play).
Objectives:
-
Familiarize participants with an innovative paper-
and web-based (www.pediatricsinpractice.org) health promotion curriculum for maternal and child
health training.
-
Identify how to effectively facilitate the
implementation and evaluation of this curriculum in
participants' clinical and teaching settings.
Method of Instruction: Presentation, participation in
a representative module, small and large group discussion
and videotape.
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level

Training Sweepstakes
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Abraham B. Bergman, Seattle, WA; Co-leader: Barry S.
Zuckerman
There is wide variation in the structure and content
of advocacy training for pediatric residents. In this
workshop we will attempt to achieve consensus on the
elements likely to make a project more or less successful.
Possible examples are: a definable endpoint, finishing the
project within the available time, sufficient faculty
supervision, frustration potential, social value, funding
potential, academic advancement potential and learning
value for the resident. Participants will be asked to
enter a sweepstakes by presenting brief descriptions of
actual or proposed advocacy projects to be graded in each
category by fellow attendees. Prizes will be awarded. It
is hoped that by selecting and critiquing essential
elements, participants will come away with ideas for
improving the effectiveness of their own advocacy training
programs.
Objectives:
-
Identify the elements necessary to make an advocacy
project successful.
-
Think small; the more circumscribed the goal, the
greater the chances of success.
Method of Instruction: Group discussion, problem
solving, grading presentations of other attendees, and
awarding of prizes
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty, senior faculty

5237—Patient-Centered
Medical Education: Using Focus Groups To Develop New
Curricula
PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Wendy Hobson, Salt Lake City, UT; Co-leaders: Sarah
Croskell, David Keller
Patients usually have little input into curricular
development in medical education. This workshop, an
interactive experience in curricular development, will use
themes extracted from focus groups to provide the basis
for the development of learning objectives. The presenters
will share their experience with development of a
curriculum, "Care of the Underserved"; focus
group process; results and themes; and development of
learning objectives.
Participants will practice two components of the
process: writing focus group questions and subsequently
writing educational objectives. The former will allow
participants to create focus group questions relevant to
their own institution. The latter will use focus groups
results to define learning objectives. The group will
reconvene to discuss application of this approach to
enhance relevance of curricula in patient care.
Objectives:
-
Participants will increase their knowledge and skill
in needs assessment methodology by utilizing focus
groups.
-
Participants will enhance their ability to write
strong educational objectives.
Method of Instruction: The following strategies will
be woven together: (1) Short summary of leader's
experience including use of focus groups: planning,
expenses, data interpretation and use of themes to develop
learning objectives; (2) review of writing educational
objectives; (3) participants to develop sample focus group
questions; (4) short videotaped segments of a focus group;
(5) small groups to develop curricular objectives using
video segments and themes.
Target Audience: junior faculty, mid-level faculty

APA Special Interest Group
Chairs:
Louis Hampers, hampers.lou@tchden.org;
and Elsie Taveras, Elsie_taveras@hphc.org
Do you provide healthcare for limited English
proficiency families? Does your practice include immigrant
populations? Due to recent demographic changes, U.S.
providers are more frequently encountering language and
cultural barriers. Government and other regulatory agents
are now developing requirements, guidelines and
suggestions for the provision of culturally competent
care. Many providers, administrators and managers remain
uncertain of their obligations regarding such regulations.
This year's SIG will present a workshop to help
providers understand and anticipate these requirements.
Panelists will include representatives from the federal
government, JCAHO and advocacy groups as well as other
experts in the field of cross-cultural care.
Among the many questions:
-
What does the law require?
-
What does JCAHO require?
-
What are the most effective means to meeting these
requirements?
-
When must an interpreter be provided?
-
What types of interpretation are acceptable?
-
Are there malpractice implications to not providing
culturally appropriate services?
Target Audience: This session is directly relevant to
all out-patient, in-patient or ambulatory providers who
serve multi-cultural communities.

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.

Tames
Families and children face social and economic
challenges that can adversely affect child health,
development and long-term potential. Pediatricians are a
natural front-line defense for screening and referral for
housing issues, education needs, disability, hunger and
other problems, yet they often lack the training and
resources to advocate for families basic needs. Developing
effective medical–legal collaboration in clinical
settings is a potent strategy to promote child health
through ensuring that these basic needs are met.
Experienced pediatric and legal advocates will
facilitate discussion of concrete advocacy strategies
including programs such as the Family Advocacy Program at
Boston Medical Center. The workshop will utilize case
examples, curriculum, advocacy tools and advocacy action
plans to bring to life the integration of legal advocacy
in the clinical setting.
Objectives:
-
Learn how to incorporate advocacy in the clinical
setting to confront the spectrum of social issues
vulnerable children and families experience.
-
Learn how the medical–legal collaborative model
supports a culture of practical advocacy at both the
individual and systemic levels.
Method of Instruction: The workshop methodology will
utilize case-based presentations, interactive discussions
and hands-on demonstration with advocacy and training
tools.
Target Audience: Trainee, junior faculty, mid-level
faculty.

Injuries place a heavy burden on the health of young
children. The Injury Control Special Interest Group
provides an opportunity for section members to review
current topics in the area of pediatric injury control. A
few of the presentations from last year focused on
research related to the use of car seats, novel approaches
to addressing domestic violence, and how SIG members might
become involved in future studies related to injury

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.

PAS Educational Workshop
Leader:
Cynthia W. DeLago, Philadelphia, PA; Co-leaders: Pierre P.
Chanoine, Robert S. McGregor, Nancy D. Spector
Promoting cultural competency in resident training
prepares residents to meet the needs of our diverse
population. The focus of this workshop is to introduce a
process of planning, implementing and evaluating a
comprehensive curriculum designed to help residents
develop interpersonal and communication skills that will
facilitate delivery of culturally effective health care.
The competencies for 'Delivery of Culturally Effective
Care' proposed by The Anne E. Dyson Community Pediatrics
Training Initiative Curriculum Committee will be discussed
in the context of this curriculum. Participants will be
introduced to different models and methodologies to
promote cultural competency in health care delivery and
then will generate a systematic approach to fit their own
program needs.
Objectives:
-
Describe a systematic approach to promote cultural
competency in residency training.
-
Develop methodologies to plan, implement and evaluate
a curriculum to promote cultural competency.
Method of Instruction: Short didactic presentations,
group discussion, and small group problem solving
sessions.
Target Audience: Junior faculty, mid-level faculty.

From past experience, we realize that our SIG is
well-attended by both residents and faculty. Therefore, we
are striving to put together a SIG meeting that will meet
the needs of both groups.
We will continue our well-received Resident Advocacy
Poster Session and give residents the opportunity to
present their work. A new activity this year will be the
opportunity for several residents to give an oral
presentation about their projects. News will be
forthcoming about how and when to submit abstracts from
your housestaff. We are planning an interactive session
with small groups focusing on certain themes, such as
“how to evaluate your advocacy curriculum,” “how to
develop advocacy curricular experiences with no money”
or “what innovative curricular experiences are out
there.” These small groups will allow more faculty and
residents to participate and share their experiences with
others who are facing similar challenges or opportunities
at their institutions. Finally, we plan to end the SIG
meeting with a moderated Open Forum for both residents and
faculty to address issues raised in the small groups and
next steps for the SIG for the following year.
We look forward to working together, as always, to
improve the training of our housestaff and consequently
the lives of the children in our communities.

Last year the SIG focused on the topic of obesity, and we
had several speakers that discussed research as well as
service-oriented programs in school and community
settings. Attendees last year enjoyed the topical focus,
so this coming year we will be focusing on innovative
mental health programs being implemented in community- and
school-based settings. In addition, we will be bringing
back abstract and poster presentations of fellows,
residents and students on this topical area to support and
promote the work of this critical group of meeting
attendees. As usual, our workshop is interactive and
allows for networking and discussion, so please join us

7302—Influences
on the Health and Development of Minority Children: An
Integrative, Ecological Approach
PAS State of the Art Plenary
Chair:
Lee M. Pachter, Saint Francis Hospital and Medical Center
and University of Connecticut School of Medicine,
Hartford, CT
There is growing recognition that developmental
outcomes in minority children are influenced by factors
that are either unique to minority children or that have
differing effects among minority and nonminority children.
This topic symposium will consist of presentations on the
effects of different contextual variables on minority
child behavioral and developmental competencies. A
conceptual model describing the inter-relationship among
these factors and minority child developmental
competencies will be presented, followed by research that
explores the differing effects of individual, family and
community level contexts on the health and development of
minority children.
Target Audience: Researchers, clinicians and
educators involved with primary care and
behavioral/developmental services to minority families.
