Evaluation of the Mental Health Referral Process for African American Adolescent Patients Within a Primary Care Setting: A Quality Improvement Project
Approximately 10% to 20% of youth worldwide are affected by mental health conditions. However, most remain inadequately diagnosed and treated (World Health Organization, 2020).

Identifying Congenital Heart Block in Primary Care
Congenital heart block (CHB) is a rare type of congenital heart disease described as an interference of the conduction of electrical impulses in the heart that control the contraction of the ventricles and the pumping of the heart. There are different types of heart block ranging in severity, with first-degree heart block being the least severe and third-degree (or complete) heart block being the most severe, along with second-degree Mobitz type I and second-degree Mobtiz type II. CHB is rare, with an incidence rate of 1 in 15,000 to 1 in 22,000 live births. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Health Care)

A Webinar to Improve Parental COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy
COVID-19 is a deadly worldwide pandemic and has led to rapid vaccine development. Vaccinating children is a key step to ending the pandemic. The aim of this project was to determine if a 1-hour webinar improved parental COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, using a pretest-posttest design. The webinar was streamed live and later posted to YouTube. Parental vaccine hesitancy was measured by an adapted version of the Parental Attitudes about Childhood Vaccine (PACV) survey for COVID-19 vaccines. PACV data was collected during the live session and from YouTube for 4 weeks after the original webinar air date. (Source: Journal of Pediatric Health Care)

Lactation Curricular Content of Pediatric Nurse Practitioner Programs in the United States: A National Survey
The health benefits of breastfeeding for both parent and child are well documented (Meek et al., 2022; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2022a). Meek et al.
