Exemplary
Practices in Adolescent Development
The
“Exemplary Practices in Adolescent Development” Report was
supported by the Sierra Health Foundation to examine
evidence-based programs that appear to be promising in terms
of positively affecting health and development for youth aged
10-15. This report summarizes studies collected and analyzed
as part of this effort and includes practices in asset
development, resiliency, and peer programs in schools and
communities. It also looks at risk behaviors including teen
pregnancy, violence and bullying, mental health, substance
abuse, obesity and eating disorders, and academic achievement.
The report discusses common themes among promising programs
and highlights promising strategies targeting different
subpopulations. This report is available from the Sierra
Health Foundation |

Visiting Survey for Pregnant Women, Newborn Infants, and/or
High-Risk Families
The
report of the findings from the MCAH ACTION survey “Home
Visiting for Pregnant Women, Newborn Infants, and/or High-Risk
Families” will be released in late June. The MCAH ACTION Home
Visiting Priority Workgroup, with assistance from FHOP,
developed this survey which was sent to MCAH Directors in
California’s
61 health local health jurisdictions (LHJ). The objectives of
the survey were: 1) To develop a profile of the number and
types of public health department home visiting programs
serving this population; 2) To provide information to promote
networking and collaboration among counties with home visiting
programs; and 3) To provide data to inform potential health
care legislation that would include home visiting services as
a covered benefit. The MCAH Directors were asked to distribute
the survey to home visiting programs in the public health
department serving woman, children and families. Surveys were
returned from 34 LHJs. The report presents the results
compiled from the surveys, reflecting the great variation in
approaches to providing home visiting services in
California. |
