Practice Tools

Pediatrics in Practice is home to several health promotion tools and resources that you can use in your practice setting. Additional practice tools are under development.

Feeding Your Baby is a series of online interactive modules designed to foster knowledge about infant nutrition with a goal of increasing breastfeeding rates in infants from birth through 6 months of age.

Bright Futures Study - The Implementation and Evaluation of a Bright Futures Curriculum Within CORNET Continuity Practices is part of a research initiative examining pediatric resident competency in the core concepts of Bright Futures and oral health promotion. It is comprised of 7 interactive, online modules adapted from the Pediatrics in Practice Child Health Promotion Curriculum and the Open Wide Oral Health Training for Health Professionals.

Tobacco Counseling for Young Girls Utilizing Bright Futures Strategies - 3 online modules that offer a technology-enabled reflective learning model to promote learner competency in smoking counseling. In each module, physicians are prompted to consider their experiences in a structured way, frame and reframe problems as they work to modify their actions, engage in activities that provide freedom to explore and clarify understandings, and consciously account for a wider perspective as they frame solutions. 

A one-of-a kind action plan tool addresses key pressure points for learning and practicing critical smoking prevention messaging concepts that address key modules, including:

  1. Promoting the Health of Adolescent Girls in a Smoking World Utilizing Bright Futures Strategies,
  2. Practicing Bright Futures Family-Centered Communication in Smoking Assessment, Advice, and Follow-up, and
  3. Effective Partnership Building Strategies to Improve Healthy Behaviors for Girls and Families.

This curriculum is expected to be launched in September 2008.
