Special Interest Group XI: Healthy Parenting in Primary Care

The Collaborative on Healthy Parenting in Primary Care recognizes the accumulated evidence of the effectiveness of family-focused prevention programs that promote the physical and behavioral health and emotional well-being of children from before their birth through adolescence. Members of this collaborative have united around an initiative to encourage the integration of effective programs that promote healthy parenting into primary care settings in order to achieve optimal health for children. This SIG gathering will discuss the work of the collaborative and opportunities for prevention scientists to join this initiative and advance this work.
