Sociodemographic factors linked to food allergy diagnosis among high-risk children with atopic dermatitis
CONCLUSION: Labeling at-risk young children with food allergy without thorough objective testing can impact their nutrition and quality of life. Barriers to equitable evaluation of food allergy diagnosis should be further investigated and addressed.PMID:38648973 | DOI:10.1016/j.anai.2024.04.016 (Source: Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology)

Pulse pressure is associated with decline in physical function in older adults
Frailty syndrome in older individuals is characterized by weight loss, weakness, slowness, low levels of physical activity, and exhaustion [1], and it is associated with disability [2] and mortality [3,4]. Handgrip strength and walking speed are frequently assessed to measure the physical function of older individuals, particularly those who have high blood pressure (BP) and are experiencing progressive vascular aging, which is a common chronic condition. [5]. Carotid-femoral or brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is commonly used to evaluate arterial stiffness and vascular aging. (Source: Maturitas)

Making it “EASI” for pediatricians to determine when toddler tantrums are “more than the terrible twos”: Proof-of-concept for primary care screening with the Multidimensional Assessment Profiles–Early Assessment Screener for Irritability (MAPS-EASI).
Conclusions: MAPS-EASI proved to be feasible and acceptable in pediatric primary care. Further tailoring will be needed as the MAPS-EASI processes are scaled out to new contexts and populations. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Families, Systems, and Health)

Possible unintended consequences of pediatric clinician strategies for communicating about social-emotional and developmental concerns in diverse young children.
Discussion: Prioritizing the clinician–caregiver relationship is consistent with best practice and family-centered care. Yet, the dearth of standardized decision support may undermine clinician confidence and impede timely conversations about social-emotional concerns. An evidence-based approach with developmentally based culturally informed quantitative tools and standardized decision supports could help ensure equitable management and decision making about young children’s social and emotional well-being and development.

A vision for implementing equitable early mental health and resilience support in pediatric primary care: A transdiagnostic, developmental approach.
This article lays the conceptual foundations for the articles in this Special Section on Mental Health, Earlier in Pediatric Primary Care, which all apply a translational mindset to proposed strategies and solutions to overcome the barriers that have limited the potential of pediatric primary care for improving the MH and wellbeing of all children. Results: Valid, pragmatic, transdiagnostic, developmentally-based screening measures to identify children at heightened risk are needed. Risk screening for MH problems should assess and empirically weight socioecological risk and protective factors, as well as the child’s own ...

Addressing mental health, earlier in pediatric primary care: Introduction to the special section.
Families, Systems, & Health, Vol 42(1), Mar 2024, 1-5; doi:10.1037/fsh0000887Leading national health organizations have declared pediatric mental health an urgent public health issue. Pediatric primary care is an ideal setting to improve mental health in young children; however, various existing barriers limit the effective identification of social–emotional risk among toddlers. This special section of Families, Systems, & Health includes four articles that identify multilevel barriers and facilitators to population-level early childhood mental health screening, identification, and referral and describe implementation st...

A Scoping Review of Dementia Interventions in Home-Based Primary Care
Home-based primary care (HBPC) provides interdisciplinary, longitudinal, comprehensive care at home to homebound older adults. The prevalence of dementia among HBPC recipients is approximately 50%. To date, little research has been performed to determine whether dementia-specific interventions have been conducted in HBPC or their efficacy. We performed a scoping review to assess the landscape of dementia interventions in HBPC. (Source: Journal of the American Medical Directors Association)
