  1. PRESENTATION TO OCDEL STAKEHOLDERSLIFECOURSE PERSPECTIVEFEBRUARY 20, 2013 Pat Yoder, presenter

  2. PPP Members • Maternal and Child Health programs • Title V- Federal block grant dollars to PA Dept of Health, which makes grants to 10 county and municipal health departments and • Healthy Start programs funded directly by DHHS to 7 programs in PA

  3. Concepts and language • OCDEL focus on early childhood from an educational perspective • MCH professionals focus on early childhood from a maternal/pregnancy/pre-pregnancy perspective

  4. Possibilities • We serve the same people • Our results are not as good as we’d like • Collaboration should help improve our results • If we do better, our clients should do better, and there should be opportunities to increase funding

  5. So, let’s talk!

  6. Life Course Perspective framework • The current most promoted concept for thinking about maternal and child health • Designed to address the extremely resistant problem of racial disparities in infant mortality

  7. In the beginning • Adverse Childhood Experiences Study • Thanks to Dr. Ron Voorhees, M.D., M.P.H., Acting Director, Allegheny County Health Department. Several slides from his presentation on ACE, presented October 26, 2011 to PPP follow.

  8. Relationship of Childhood Abuse and Household Dysfunction to Many of the Leading Causes of Death in Adults: The Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Study Vincent J. Felitti, Robert F. Anda, Dale Nordenberg, David F. Williamson, Alison M. Spitz, Valerie Edwards, Mary P. Koss, James S. Marks American Journal of Preventive Medicine, 1998; 14(4) 245-258

  9. Adverse Childhood Experiences • More than 17,000 Kaiser patients were asked to recall their childhood experiences • Health conditions in the present were tabulated

  10. ACE Study - Categories of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) • Psychological abuse • Physical abuse • Sexual abuse • Substance abuse in home • Mental illness in parent • Violence against mother • Incarceration of parent

  11. Kaiser HMO enrollees had at least one type of adverse childhood experience: 4 Categories 6.2% 3 Categories 6.9 % 2 Categories 12.5% 0 Categories 49.5% 1 Category 24.9% Data from Felitti, et. al.

  12. Growing up with adverse childhood experiences increases the risk for many later adverse health conditions – ranging from smoking to obesity to depression and substance abuse.

  13. Four or more ACEs double the risk for being a smoker Odds Ratio (relative to 0 ACEs) 2.2 1.5 2.0 1.1 Number of ACE Categories Data from Felitti, et. al.

  14. ACEs increase risk for chronic bronchitis/emphysema 3.9 2.2 1.6 1.6 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  15. ACEs increase the risk of stroke 2.4 1.3 0.9 0.7 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  16. ACEs increase risk of ischemic heart disease 2.2 1.4 0.9 0.9 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  17. ACEs increase the risk of cancer 1.2 1.2 1.0 1.9 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  18. ACEs increase reporting of having an STD 2.5 1.9 1.4 1.5 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  19. ACEs increase risk of having had over 50 sexual partners 3.2 3.1 2.3 1.7 Data from Felitti, et. al.

  20. ACEs increase the risk for depression almost five times Odds Ratio (relative to 0 ACEs) 4.6 2.6 1.5 2.4 Number of ACE Categories Data from Felitti, et. al.

  21. Four ACEs increase the risk for using illicit drugs 4.7 times; even one almost doubles the risk: Odds Ratio (relative to 0 ACEs) 4.7 3.6 2.9 1.7 Number of ACE Categories Data from Felitti, et. al.

  22. ACEs increase the risk for alcoholism Odds Ratio (relative to 0 ACEs) 7.4 4.9 4.0 2.0 Number of ACE Categories Data from Felitti, et. al.

  23. ACEs increase the risk for suicide attempt over 12 times: 12.2 Odds Ratio (relative to 0 ACEs) 6.6 3.0 1.8 Number of ACE Categories Data from Felitti, et. al.

  24. Socioeconomic Impact of Child Abuse and Neglect • David Zielinski (Duke University) estimated that almost 20% of unemployed adults report abuse or neglect as child • Adult victims of maltreatment: • have less education • have more physical and mental health problems that interfere with their work • are twice as likely to be below federal poverty level • are twice as likely to be on Medicaid

  25. Disparities in Infant Mortality • Not so long ago, maternal and child health workers believed that just getting women in for at least ONE prenatal visit would make a difference in the rates of infant mortality • The science has changed; our understanding has deepened • Focus has shifted to racial disparities and why they are so persistent

  26. WHY? • Many studies have shown that the factors that might explain the racial disparities, don’t! • Genetics • Behavior • Prenatal Care • SES • Stress • Infection

  27. Multiple Risk Factors • Explain less than 10% of the variation in low birth weights between white and African-American babies

  28. Early Programming Emphasis on importance of sensitive developmental periods in utero or early life during which future reproductive potential becomes programmed

  29. Knowledge is increasing • In the last 20 years, David Barker, MD, PhD, FRS, studied what happens to a low birth weight baby • Health consequences in adult life, such as heart disease and diabetes • Mother’s consistent prenatal stress affects her hormones, which in turn, affects the baby’s brain development • Epigenetics =another continuing aspect of study (trust me!!)

  30. Still more complexity • Cumulative pathways All that happens throughout the life of the mother, and her mother (not to mention what we’re learning about dads!)

  31. These are not mutually exclusive! • Early programming and cumulative pathways affect the life course over generations

  32. What to do?12 point program Improving Health care Services • Provide interconception care to women with prior adverse pregnancy outcomes • Increase access to preconception care for women • Improve the quality of prenatal care • Expand health care access over the life course

  33. Strengthening Families and Communities • Strengthen father involvement in families Parental resilience • Enhance service coordination and systems integration • Create reproductive social capital in communities • Invest in community building and urban renewal

  34. Addressing social and economic inequities • Close the education gap Knowledge of parenting and child development • Reduce poverty • Support working mothers and families • Undo racism

  35. Opportunities Abound! • Break down barriers • Talk and work with one another • Recognize commonalities • Keep hope alive

  37. Strengthening Families

  38. Parents say they want to… • Know their children feel loved • Be responsive to child • Have connections • Meet basic needs • Show courage

  39. Strengthening Families began as an approach to child abuse prevention • Research based • Focus on strengths, not risks • For all families • Start where families already go • Build on and connect existing programs and strategies, not invent new ones

  40. Strengthening Families quickly moved beyond child abuse prevention for young children and was adapted for a wide variety of programs, integrating a common approach to the needs of families into many kinds of services.

  41. Partners at the national level • Federal Agencies • Administration for Children, Youth and Families, Office on Child Abuse and Neglect • Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) • Administration on Children and Families, Child Care Bureau • Maternal and Child Health Bureau • Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Division of Violence Prevention

  42. The protective factors

  43. Social and emotional competence “My child feels loved, a sense of belonging and can get along with others.”

  44. Adequate knowledge of parenting and child development “I stay curious and am responsive to what my child needs.”

  45. An array of social connections “I have people who know me –friends. And at least one person who supports my parenting.”

  46. Concrete support in times of need “My family can access basic needs when they need it.”
