Danielson C. n.d.. Healthy Foundations [Final report]. Des Moines, IA: Iowa Department of Public Health, 51 pp.

Annotation: The project's goals were to: (1) Develop and implement structures and processes in defined community areas to plan and implement a family-centered, community-based health care delivery system for children; (2) develop data system capacity and function statewide to ensure family-centered, community-based primary care services for children; and (3) share experiences in family-centered, community-based system change in the area of primary health care for children with other State, regional, and national maternal and child health providers. At the State level, strategies were directed toward developing a system of children's primary health care delivery that was family centered and community based. At the local level, child health steering committees in established projects were to continue to plan and implement child health system changes in their service areas.

Gorelick M. 2001. Predicting Short Term Outcomes in Acute Pediatric Asthma: [Final report]. Wilmington, DE: University of Pennsylvania, 84 pp.

Annotation: This project aimed to: 1) identify those signs and symptoms that were associated with the need for hospitalization in acute asthma of children and 2) develop and validate a clinical prediction rule to differentiate those children requiring admission from those capable of discharge. The creation of a new tool to improve accuracy of prediction of short-term outcomes in acute childhood asthma will reduce both inappropriate admission and discharge, with enormous potential for reducing both economic costs and morbidity. Approximately 768 children, mostly African-American, ages 2 years and older, treated in the emergency department of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia for acute asthma comprised the sample for this study.

Lieu T. 2001. "BABE: The Birth and Beyond Experiences Study" Home Versus Group Visits After Early Postpartum Discharge: [Final report]. Oakland, CA: Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program, 30 pp.

Annotation: The purpose of this project was to test the hypothesis that low-risk mothers and newborns will be at reduced risk of adverse health outcome if assigned to receive a home visit rather than a group clinic visit on the third postpartum day. Low-risk mothers and newborns were identified prior to hospital discharge. These study subjects were enrolled, interviewed, and randomized to a home visit (intervention) or a group clinic visit (usual care) on the third postpartum day. Outcome data were obtained from telephone interviews with mothers from computerized utilization databases at Kaiser Permanente. An adverse health outcome was defined as any of the following during the first 14 postpartum days: an urgent clinic visit by the newborn or mother, breastfeeding discontinuation, maternal depressive symptoms, or rehospitalization of the newborn and/or the mother.

Pollack M. 1994. Reducing the Nation's Pediatric Intensive Care Mortality [Final report]. Washington, DC: Children's National Medical Center, 84 pp.

Annotation: Data indicated that the quality of pediatric intensive care was not uniform, resulting in the unnecessary deaths of numerous infants and children each year. This proposal investigated four primary, intensive care characteristics using an objective, quantitative methodology that could be applied to future studies. This methodology, validated in a national study, indicated that there was a precise relationship between severity of illness (physiologic instability as assessed by the Pediatric Risk of Mortality [PRISM] score) and intensive care outcome (i.e, survival or death) in university pediatric ICUs with intensivist directors. The investigators hypothesized that the precise relationship between severity of illness and outcome would not hold consistently in all pediatric ICUs, resulting in underestimation of mortality.
