“…50 Well-child care that is sufficiently flexible to provide more intense services for families with greatest biological, psychological, and social risks might prove more effective than the existing "one size fits all" approach. 51,52 Kemper 53,54 and Fleegler et al 49 suggested that by routinely using a standardized psychosocial risk assessment, child health providers could improve identification of risks, like those that were compiled for this study. A brief social risk assessment could be performed at or even before birth, and children with the greatest number of risks could be offered enhanced or supplemented wellchild care.…”

“…31 Some investigators advocate that this is a promising avenue by which pediatric primary care providers can increase their effectiveness in dealing with and preventing childhood problems. 9,[32][33][34][35] Previous studies, however, suggest that pediatricians are not accurate in identifying mothers with depressive symptoms without the assistance of a screening tool. 36 Similar findings have been observed among family practitioners and primary care providers of adults, who underrecognize depressive symptoms in their own patients.…”

Do Pediatricians Recognize Mothers With Depressive Symptoms?

Pediatric health care providers did not recognize most mothers with high levels of self-reported depressive symptoms. Pediatricians may benefit from asking directly about maternal functioning or by using a structured screening tool to identify mothers who are at risk for developing depressive symptoms. In addition, training pediatric providers to identify mothers with depressive symptoms may be beneficial.

“…Consequently, it is important to recognize and encourage positive parenting behaviors and identify the presence of risk factors, such as lower level education and parent concern for child behavioral problems. Second, as noted by others 16,17,26 the link between parental stress and disciplinary practices suggests a need for routine assessments of parental mental health during pediatric visits. Given the dearth of available mental health services, current efforts such as the recent Bright Futures guidelines 27 and AAP policy statement 28 on mental health screening in primary care practices are promising.…”

Objective. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that parents not use harsh disciplinary practices. Previous studies have characterized the disciplinary practices of African American parents as harsh, with reliance on more aggressive techniques not currently recommended by the AAP. However, recent research has indicated more disciplinary practice diversity among African Americans. This study describes factors associated with the use of AAP-recommended disciplinary practices among lower-income African American caregivers of children in Head Start. Methods. Subjects were caregivers of children at three Head Start sites. Participants were eligible for inclusion if the biological mother, biological father, or target child was identified as African American. Using consensus methods, responses to the Parental Discipline Methods Interview (PDMI) were described as consistent or inconsistent with AAP guidelines regarding use of negative disciplinary practices (e.g., spanking, yelling). Caregivers avoiding any of these inconsistent methods were referred to as “adherent.” Results. “Adherent” caregivers were older (32.5 years vs. 30.4 years) and had more education (86.0% vs. 75.4% high school graduates). They were also less likely to report that their child had behavioral problems (12.9% vs. 25.2%) or deficient social skills (1.7% vs. 8.0%). Conclusions. Lower-income African American caregivers were more likely to use disciplinary practices consistent with AAP guidelines if they had higher levels of education and were living in an urban setting. Caregivers describing their child as having fewer behavior problems, better social skills, or themselves as less stressed were also more likely to be “adherent.”
