Ep. 86: The Roadmap Project (Encore Presentation)

The Roadmap Project started in 2017 as a simple request from three parents of children with chronic conditions to the American Board of Pediatrics: Create for us a roadmap to improve the emotional health of our children.

Since that time, The Roadmap Project has become a national effort that seeks to do this by:

Raising awareness among patients, families, and clinical teams to validate, assess, and address emotional stress during routine care;
Building confidence and capability among clinical teams to assess and address emotional health needs;
Helping patients and families feel safe sharing emotional health concerns; and
Providing resources, connections, and strategies to patients, families, and clinical teams.

In this encore presentation of the Well Beyond Medicine podcast, we hear from the team implementing the Roadmap Project and get an update on its current status.

Guests:
Erica Sood, PhD, Pediatric Psychologist, Director of Nemours Children's Cardiac Learning & Early Development Program, Nemours Children's Health, Delaware
Jill Plevinsky, PhD, Pediatric Psychologist, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia

Ep. 88: PRAMS for Dads – Empowering Fathers in Pregnancy Health

For decades, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has partnered with state health departments to conduct the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System (PRAMS). Aimed at new mothers, the PRAMS survey asks women to provide information about their health, attitudes, and experiences before, during, and shortly after pregnancy.

By the mid-twenty-teens, however, it was realized that surveying new fathers could also provide valuable insights and information about the health of both their newborn children and their partners. This led to the launch of a pilot PRAMS for Dads survey in Georgia. PRAMS for Dads is now in five states and growing, providing valuable public health data that informs public education, programming, outreach and policy development. We talked with two leaders of the PRAMS for Dads movement about its origins, growth and integration with PRAMS, which provides a clearer picture of the health of families across the U.S.

Guests:
Craig Garfield, MD, Professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University and Attending Pediatrician, Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago
