| Owing that a child's health impacts his growth and development to become a prosperous adult, it is imperative that his childhood be free of factors that inhibit this healthy growth. Some of those factors affecting his health include lack of access to medical care, barriers to immunization, inability to feed, and use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. The presentations in this session will discuss these factors and offer solutions to combat them to ensure children develop into healthy adults. | |||
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the session, the participant (learner) will be able to: 1. Describe the legal, financial, and operational barriers to medical-legal collaboratives.; 2. Identify the personal characteristics of mothers and of health care environments that influence mothers to withdraw children from health care practices.; 3. Discuss how parents' attitudes and beliefs toward childhood immunization impact their child's immunization status.; 4. Describe the components of a randomized clinical trial involving feeding premature infants.; and 5. Explain the importance of conducting a needs assessment with participants and related persons prior to implementation of an intervention. | |||
