  1. Healthy Steps:Past, Present and Future Rick Brandt-Kreutz, LCSW August 10, 2006 2006 State First 5 Summit South Lake Tahoe, California

  2. Objectives Past: Healthy Steps Background and Outcomes Present: Healthy Steps Fresno Outcomes Future: Adaptation, Change and Flexibility

  3. Evolution of Healthy Steps • Phase 1 – Evaluation (15 + 9 sites) 1995 • Phase 2 – Sustainability and Dissemination • 10 of 24 sustained (42%) • 9 of 24 with significant spin-off • 35 new sites since end of the evaluation 2003 • Total Current Sites: 45 • 17 in Residency Training • 20 in Planning or Discussion

  4. Why Healthy Steps? MCB.AB.UIMCH 4-21-2005

  5. Beginning Healthy Steps • 1975: The “new morbidity” recognized in Pediatrics • 1993: "After infancy, children in the United States are more likely to die from injuries of violence and suicide than from infectious disease.” PEDIATRICS Vol. 92 No. 5 November 1993

  6. Healthy Brains • Significance of the environment in forming babies brains • Stress effects development • Depressed mothers twice as likely to become frustrated • Recognition of the importance of school readiness PEDIATRICS 114:3 September, 2004

  7. Many Mothers Not Breastfeeding 33% did not breastfeed 13% stopped after a month =46% TOTAL + Young, KT, et al. Listening to Parents: A national Survey of Parents with Young Children. Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine. 1998; 152: 255-262.

  8.

  10. The Unique Influence of the Primary Care Provider • Who else sees 0-3 babies? • High trust factor • Timing and frequency of well-child visits • Supportive, on-going relationship • General and personalized relationship

  11. Why Healthy Steps? • Developmental and Behavioral Risks to Child Health • Parent-Child-Family Relationships are Key to Child Health • Primary Care Provider Has a Unique Opportunity With Families

  30. Did it Work? • Evaluation Plan: • For Residents and for families and children • CSUF Students: Comparison Group Dr. Kathleen Ramos, Ph.D. California State University, Fresno

  31. Healthy Steps Fresno:Resident Outcomes • Yearly pre and post survey • Resident rotation evaluations

  32. Frequency Competence Answer questions Initiate discussion Use screening Obtain history Identify problems Recommend intervention Resident Survey With regard to infants and toddlers (ages 0-3):

  33. Survey Results…so far Administered 4 times with one beginning and ending pair: • Instrument is reliable: alpha=.93 • Scores increase with years in residency • Scores jump the most after the Developmental and Behavioral rotation • Pre and Post = significant increase in scores

  34. But, is this Healthy Steps? We cannot say…

  35. Children’s Hospital Social Work Elementary School Experience Children’s Hospital Psychology Developmental Pediatrics TOTAL AVERAGE Diagnostic Center Behavior Clinic Regional Center HEALTHY STEPS

  36. Healthy Steps Fresno:Patient and Family Outcomes • Breastfeeding • Feeding • Reading • Harsh and Abusive Parenting • Father Involvement • E/R Usage

Duration of breastfeeding and risk of overweight: a meta-analysis.Am J Epidemiol. 2005 Sep 1;162(5):397-403.

  38. Feeding • Healthy Steps babies are less likely to have water (35% vs 75%), cereal (7% vs 34%), and other foods introduced early Early feeding habits effect chances of being overweight and Hispanics start foods earlier • Mennella JA. Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study: the types of foods fed to Hispanic infants and toddlers. J Am Diet Assoc. 2006 Jan;106(1 Suppl 1):S96-106.

  44. Fresno Questions: • How could we identify and serve the children and families who need Healthy Steps more? • Can our residents implement Healthy Steps in their future practice? • How could we serve more kids? How can we SCREEN more children? Every Child is a Healthy Steps Child

  45. 30% of developmental disabilities identified (Palfrey et al. JPEDS. 1994; 111:651-655) 20% of mental health problems identified (Lavigne et al.

  46. Future Healthy Steps:Adaptation, Change and Flexibility From: THE CADILLAC MODEL To: The Prius Model

  47. Healthy Steps Key Points Into the Future: • Flexible • Component selection: • Essential: Developmental Screening, Home Visits, Developmental Info. Line and Healthy Steps Materials • Intensity: Can vary from site to site • Venues • Private practice • Hospital clinics and FQHCs • Residency Training • Public Health MCB.AB.UIMCH 4-21-2005
