Annotation: This training manual, designed for pediatric residents and other graduate students in helping professions, promotes the attitudes, skills, and knowledge required for providing family-centered services, specifically through interprofessional collaboration. The purpose of the training is to make participants aware of the positive value of family-centered, collaborative care and of professionals' role in providing such care. The concepts contained in the manual derive from two major schools of thought with regard to serving families: (1) family-centered care is the most effective care because families have opportunities to participate in decisions about their child's health care and education and (2) interprofessional collaboration recognizes that professionals interdependently—rather than independently—meet the multiple priorities and diverse needs of families.

Annotation: This report discusses the findings of a health and safety needs consulting survey conducted as part of a broad two-county initiative in Arizona to identify curriculum and training needs for child care staff. The analysis of survey results, conducted in 1989, contributed to the report's recommendations for the public health community, including: the establishment of baseline data regarding health and safety risks in local child care programs; the development of resources and trainers to upgrade the knowledge and skills of child care staff and reduce identified health and safety risks; the provision of health and safety consultation services to early childhood programs; networking with other agencies who enter child care programs for regulatory or consultation purposes; and participation in public advisory boards and/or legislative committees having to do with child care policy and programs.
