Annotation: This project aimed to reduce the incidence of poor health characteristics among low-income, culturally diverse populations by promoting the involvement of primary care physicians (pediatricians) in early screening and intervention. Project goals included increasing the level of preventive health care for underserved children, reducing the severity of psychosocial problems, increasing physicians' sense of involvement as part of a team in providing services to project children and their families, and demonstrating a practical process for accomplishing these goals which can be replicated across the nation.

Annotation: This project was designed to develop an Emergency Medical Services for Children (EMSC) program in California. The project worked with a variety of local organizations in order to collect and analyze data on pediatric emergency medical services (EMS) systems. An injury severity index was developed to predict outcomes and to determine how specialized care would affect outcomes, and the cost of pediatric emergency medical services care was calculated. These data were used as the basis for proposing a rural EMSC system for communities with a variety of EMSC resources. [Funded by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau]
