“…Pediatricians will need to work with the community to advocate for more treatment and intervention services. [61][62][63][64] Innovative means of consultation and collaboration will continue to evolve with emerging technology. 65 These relationships help build the capacity of pediatricians to manage various behavioral and emotional problems in the office.…”

By current estimates, at any given time, approximately 11% to 20% of children in the United States have a behavioral or emotional disorder, as defined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition. Between 37% and 39% of children will have a behavioral or emotional disorder diagnosed by 16 years of age, regardless of geographic location in the United States. Behavioral and emotional problems and concerns in children and adolescents are not being reliably identified or treated in the US health system. This clinical report focuses on the need to increase behavioral screening and offers potential changes in practice and the health system, as well as the research needed to accomplish this. This report also (1) reviews the prevalence of behavioral and emotional disorders, (2) describes factors affecting the emergence of behavioral and emotional problems, (3) articulates the current state of detection of these problems in pediatric primary care, (4) describes barriers to screening and means to overcome those barriers, and (5) discusses potential changes at a practice and systems level that are needed to facilitate successful behavioral and emotional screening. Highlighted and discussed are the many factors at the level of the pediatric practice, health system, and society contributing to these behavioral and emotional problems. SCOPE OF THE PROBLEM AND NEED FOR THIS REPORTBehavioral and emotional problems during childhood are common, often undetected, and frequently not treated despite being responsible for significant morbidity and mortality. By current estimates, approximately 11% to 20% of children in the United States have a behavioral or emotional disorder at any given time. 1,2 Estimated prevalence rates are similar in young 2-to 5-year-old children. Developmental and behavioral health disorders are now the top 5 chronic pediatric conditions causing functional impairment. 3,4 Even greater numbers of children have This document is

“…1 Indeed, studies have demonstrated that, while parent concern about child behavior can be a useful predictor of clinically significant social-emotional problems (as it was in the present study), it is not adequately sensitive to detect such problems nor to detect children in the at-risk range. 4,33 Moreover, whereas behaviorally-based mental health screening scores at 12–36 months have been found to predict parent- and teacher-rated problems and diagnostic status in early elementary school, early parent concern about child behavior was only predictive of later parent-reported behavior problems. 1 Despite the limitations of sole reliance on parental concerns, asking about concerns can be done relatively quickly (though following up on their response may take longer) and may be useful clinically as it provides information about parent perceptions of child behavior and motivation to seek help.…”

Objective To determine (a) how child age relates to parent concerns about child behavior and (b) how child age and parent concerns correlate with provider referrals and family attendance at mental health consultant (MHC) appointments. Methods Data were obtained from Rhode Island’s Project LAUNCH (Linking Actions for Unmet Needs in Children’s Health) in which universal developmental and behavioral screening and MHCs were embedded within primary care sites serving low-income, diverse families. Children 9 months to 8 years were eligible for the study if they had a scheduled screening well child visit in 2010 (N = 1,451). Families completing screening and/or those referred for a MHC appointment were included in analyses (n = 700). Outcome measures included parent reported concerns about child behavior, referral status following screening, and family attendance at the MHC appointment. Results For every 1-month increase in child age, there was a 1.02 times increase in the likelihood of parent behavioral concern and a 1.04 times increase in the likelihood of mental health referral, even when controlling for child behavior. MHC-referred children over 5 years were 2.61 times more likely to attend than children less than 5. When examining parent behavioral concerns and child age jointly, only concerns remained significant. Conclusion Infants and toddlers, who have the highest rates of unmet mental health needs, may be least likely to benefit from universal screening and on-site MHC support. Efforts to incorporate behaviorally-based screening tools and increase parent concerns where appropriate appear warranted, particularly for families with very young children.

Objective: to synthesize factors related to dysfunctions in the socioemotional development of infants. Method: integrative review carried out between April and August 2016 with defined criteria for inclusion and exclusion of studies, search strategies, extraction and synthesis of data. The exposure factors underwent categorical thematic analysis and systematization according to the levels of the context (Microsystem, Mesosystem, Exosystem and Macrosystem) of the Bioecological Model of Human Development. Results: in the context of the Microsystem and Mesosystem, the factors found were: limitations in care; adversities in family relationships and in the social support and illness situation of the caregivers that influence the proximal processes. In the Exosystem and the Macrosystem, they were: social vulnerabilities of caregivers and fragilities of public policies that determine the material and social conditions of the family. Conclusion: the synthesis of evidence on exposure factors favors the construction of measurement scales of the contextual elements related to the social emotional development of young children. Beyond the milestones, present or not, in the evaluation of a child, these technologies can be predictive, with great potential of anticipation of the factors of exposure and prevention of developmental dysfunctions.
