This workshop highlights the Healthy Steps initiative, focusing on integrating developmental and behavioral screening in pediatric practice. Attendees will explore findings from Fresno's research on the Cadillac model, changes in the Healthy Steps program, and future research plans. Key outcomes include improved parenting practices, increased parental satisfaction, and enhanced child health metrics. Information will be shared on enhancing well-child care through community resources and targeted interventions for families with children aged 0-3. Join us to uncover how we can better support families in their early years.

Other Questions • Did the Cadillac Model improve mother-child attachment? • Strange Situations being conducted this summer • Video clips: • Quality of play • Secure base behavior • Self-soothing • Avoidance & Resistance • Secure behavior
Other Questions • Do securely attached pairs show up for more well-child checks? Get sick less? Use clinic instead of ED? • Adults with secure attachment styles are more compliant patients, keep chronic diseases under better control, and trust their doctors more. • Is infant sleep (particularly cosleeping and sleep training) related to security of attachment?
Other Questions • Prevalence and correlates of bed-sharing among Mexican immigrant families • 0-5 months: 68% • 6-12 months: 63% • 12-14 months: 62% • Similar to other studies, bed-sharing is more common in father-absent homes; among young babies, associated with breastfeeding. • Unlike other studies, bed-sharing is consistent across ages.
Other Questions • What do you want to know about the clinic patients that we might be able to answer using this dataset? • Feeding • Reading promotion • Father involvement • Harsh parenting • Sleep habits • Attachment
