“…While there is strong interest in steering social work practice in accordance with research evidence (Hodge 2012; Julien-Chinn & Lietz, 2019), empirical evidence on the current effectiveness of many social work interventions and other psychosocial interventions directed at children and families is lacking Breivik et al, 2021;Sheehan et al, 2018). Pilot studies can provide useful insights regarding the next steps in research and implementation.…”

“…Some recommend greater use of screening programmes (Bagner et al, 2012;Glascoe, 2015;Lipkin and Macias, 2020;Sheldrick et al, 2020); however, research shows divergent results. One systematic review on identifying preschool children with mental health problems in primary health care points to sparse literature and variation in methods' quality (Charach et al, 2020), while another reveals that evidence regarding psychometric properties of psychological tests is often lacking (Breivik et al, 2021). Others point to drift from screening guidelines (Wissow et al, 2013;Gellasch, 2016;Wallis et al, 2020) and low screening rates (Hirai et al, 2018).…”

Background: Infants’ symptoms of mental struggle are often diffuse and undifferentiated, and health services do not identify many infants at risk of poor development. However, primary health care is advantageous for early identification, given there are frequent consultations during the infant’s first two years. Health policy encourages using evidence-based screening but use varies in primary health care. The Alarm Distress Baby Scale (ADBB) is an assessment tool targeting social withdrawal in infants 2-24 months of age. Aim: To explore contextual factors related to public health nurses’ (PHNs) acceptability of clinical assessment tools in a Norwegian child health centre. Methods: Prior to an upcoming ADBB training, we used focus group discussions with PHNs to explore their views on their professional role and practice and how this concurs with using assessment tools. Findings: Thematic analysis resulted in the following themes: (1) A Role requiring Supporting the Parents and Safeguarding the Infant; (2) The Challenge of Interpreting Infant Expressions; and (3) Organisational Preconditions for Accepting New Methods. Conclusion: Our findings show that PHNs regard assessment tools as an aid to detect infants at risk, but that systematic use of such tools can hinder their ability to be flexible, egalitarian, and resource-focused. We also find that acceptability of assessment tools requires a system for continuous training and a well-established referral routine.

Background: It is documented that preventive interventions for vulnerable children should start during pregnancy. Clinicians who work with families in the perinatal period must deal with a complexity created by the combination of risk and protection in the child's care system. National guidelines for treatment offered within mental health care in the perinatal period are currently lacking. We present areas of assessment that can inform the clinician working with pregnant women and their partners and show how the use of a biopsychosocial and cultural case formulation can promote therapeutic work in the perinatal period (P-CF). Method: Based upon clinical experience, theory, research, guidelines and knowledge about parents and children in the perinatal period, a selection is made of risk and protective factors that may influence the child’s development and health. Findings: The selected risk and protective factors are systemised in a biopsychosocial and cultural case formulation for the care system in the perinatal period (P-CF). Use of P-CF in clinical settings are exemplified. Implications: The use of P-CF enables the clinician to generate hypotheses about both development and skewed development. Systematic use can increase equality and quality in clinical decision-making processes by making the clinician's assessments less dependent on personal preferences and degree of experience. P-KF can assist the clinician in balancing risk and protective factors and elucidate where therapeutic interventions need to me made and how they should be provided.
