Childhood Screening in Public Health
Hot Topics in Genetics and Advocacy
Childhood screening for early identification of numerous health and developmental risks provides a model for coordinated care as it maximizes the potential of the medical home and necessitates parent-provider partnerships. Childhood screening for genetic conditions also offers the opportunity to screen for conditions that may not have been appropriate in the newborn period, but the results of which could be useful in childhood. Throughout this webinar, presenters will discuss the possible distinctions between newborn and childhood screening and touch on the broad spectrum of definitions for "benefit" and "treatment."
