4.2 rct of the vermont family-based approach (vfba) in primary care pediatrics: engagement with health and support services

This pilot RCT tested the Vermont Family-Based Approach (VFBA) in pediatrics. The VFBA is an innovative approach to population health care that focuses on the family, recognizes the central role of emotional/behavioral health in development, and uses evidence-based health promotion in addition to treatment. We previously reported that across family members, the VFBA group demonstrated increased engagement with mindfulness, music training, and psychotherapy compared with the control group. This poster will present more in-depth analyses of who in the family benefited from these supports/services.
