Opportunities to increase well-child care engagement for families affected by maternal opioid use disorder: perceptions of mothers and clinicians.
The objectives of this qualitative study were to gather in-depth information regarding maternal and clinician-reported factors that facilitate or hinder well-child care (WCC) engagement as well as information from mothers' experiences during WCC visits. Thirty mothers in treatment for parental opioid use disorder (OUD) and 13 clinicians working at a pediatric primary care clinic participated by completing one telephone session which involved a brief questionnaire followed by a semi-structured interview. Facilitators identified by mothers and clinicians, included continuity of care, addressing material needs, and clinician OUD training and knowledge. Barriers to WCC included: stigma toward mothers with OUD, gaps in basic parenting knowledge, competing specialized health care needs, and insufficient time to address concerns.

Exploring national trends of patient- and family-centered care among US children.
This study examined national trends in the receipt of high-quality patient-physician communication and patient empowerment through behavioral health counseling among children in the United States. They used Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS) data from 2010 to 2014. Two measures of patient- and family-centered care (PFCC) were analyzed: 1) a composite measure of high-quality patient-physician communication, and 2) patient empowerment through behavioral health counseling about healthy eating and exercise. There were high rates of receiving high-quality physician-patient communication (92-93%) as opposed to behavioral counseling about healthy eating (53-60%) and exercise (37-42%). There was a higher rate of high-quality physician-patient communication in 2014 than in 2010, but there was not a similar increase in receiving behavioral health counseling. Lower odds of receiving behavioral health counseling were found for parents with low income and low educational attainment as well as lack of insurance.

One year follow-up of outcomes from the randomized clinical trial of the building on family strengths program.
This study tested the 12-month efficacy of an inclusive non-diagnosis-specific, parent education program with seven in-person sessions. The outcome measures were self-efficacy, parent and child shared management of chronic condition, coping skills, parental depressive symptoms and quality of life. All of the outcomes improved within the intervention group over 12 months.

Associations between early intervention home visits, family relationships and competence for mothers of children with developmental disabilities.
The researchers examined the association between intensity of home visits in early intervention (EI), perceived helpfulness of home visits in EI, and positive family relationships as predictors of maternal competence at age 3, as well as moderating effects of predictors, controlling for child characteristics, family demographics, and negative life events. They found that the intensity of home visits was not significantly associated with maternal competence at age 3.
