Integrating "Back to Sleep" Recommendations Into Neonatal ICU Practice | Pediatrics
Mar 07, 2013
The American Academy of Pediatrics stresses that NICUs should endorse and model the sudden infant deaths syndrome risk-reduction recommendations significantly before anticipated discharge of the infant. Medical personnel are critical role models for parents, and the way they position infants in the hospital strongly influences parental practices at home.

The study was able to monitor and document accidents that happened in the pedestal walkway involving children, capture children perception of their safety while walking on the pedestal walkways; draw the attention of the government and policy makers to put in place laws, regulations and appropriate sanctions to deter motor vehicle drivers from driving on pedestal walkways, thus improving safety for children as they walk to and fro school daily.

Dynamic Adaptation Process to Implement an Evidence-Based Child Maltreatment Intervention | Implementation Science
Apr 26, 2012
This article from Implementation Science was backed by a CDC Grant. Adaptations are often made to evidence-based practices (EBPs) by systems, organizations, and/or service providers in the implementation process. The degree to which core elements of an EBP can be maintained while allowing for local adaptation is unclear. In addition, adaptations may also be needed at the system, policy, or organizational levels to facilitate EBP implementation and sustainment.
[Archived Webinar] Creating Safer Schools & Healthier Children: A Model Bullying Prevention Program
Apr. 2012
Description
One in three children is affected by bullying in U.S. schools today, and this epidemic presents immense health, economic and societal consequences. Recognizing the need for a multi-faceted public health approach to the problem, the Highmark Foundation launched the Bullying Prevention Institute to enable implementation of the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program (OBPP) in more than 240 schools across the Foundation’s Pennsylvania service region. This webinar shared how the Foundation spearheaded the creation of a coalition of experts to implement OBPP in the largest statewide bullying prevention initiative in the country and how other stakeholders around the country can replicate this unique, model program. We discussed new cost-benefit-analysis data along with the positive results of Highmark’s efforts to create safer school climates and healthier, happier children.
