Annotation: Maternal Child Health (MCH) professionals work at the interface of public health, clinical care, entitlement and eligibility programs in health and social services, and education. Rarely does a single database include data on the full range of phenomena of interest for specific research studies. Record linkage can be employed to link records on mothers and children across databases, longitudinally, and across generations. Data integration provides a basis for storage of linkage results for use in future analyses.

Learning Objectives: • Understand how to differentiate between deterministic and probabilistic linkage methods, and select the appropriate methodology. • Describe a framework for data integration of population-based perinatal health data. • Identify examples of research questions in MCH requiring record linkage to obtain the necessary data for analysis.

Annotation: This webinar focuses on strategies for states and communities to create effective partnerships to expand the systems of care (SOC) approach broadly to achieve shared goals of improving services and outcomes for children, youth, and young adults with behavioral health challenges and their families. A framework is presented that outlines the roles of states and communities in SOC expansion and sustainability, along with guidance for partnerships that emerged from an exploration of effective approaches. This webinar is part of the SOC Expansion Leadership Learning Community.

Annotation: This webinar will focus on the skills needed to become effective leaders with SOCs. Based on the concept of “leadership with intention,” the presenter will offer a framework for leadership derived from neuroscience and will then discuss: 1) leadership styles and their impact, 2) the role of strategic alliances and relationship building in leadership, and 3) the “coach approach” to leadership. Concrete examples will be provided throughout, as well as an opportunity for questions. This webinar is part of the SOC Leadership Learning Community.

Annotation: This webinar focus on how to operationalize family and youth leadership in all phases of SOC development and expansion. Presenters will share a framework with specific questions and strategies that can be used to guide the implementation of family- and youth-driven approaches. This webinar is part of the SOC Expansion Leadership Learning Community. Additional resources are listed on the youtube page.

Learning Objectives: • Understand the requirements and value of of youth and family engagement and leadership of systems of care (SOCs). • Understand roles for youth and families at all levels. • Learn about partnering with youth- and family-run organizations. • Learn about the use of guiding questions as a framework for assessing and implementing youth and family engagement and leadership. • Engage in question and answer discussion.

Annotation: The Maternal, Child, and Adolescent Health (MCAH) Life Course Perspective, Practice, & Leadership course is designed to provide an understanding of life course perspective, its practical applications, and related leadership opportunities. The life course perspective is a conceptual framework for understanding health trajectories of populations over time. The life course perspective posits that broad social, economic, and environmental factors not only shape health and contribute to health outcomes but are also the underlying causes of inequities in a wide range of maternal and child health outcomes. This course first provides a brief summary of the development and central components of this perspective. Building off these foundational concepts, the course then focuses on practical applications of this perspective in both healthcare settings and public health interventions. Through interviews with leaders in the MCAH field, including clinicians, researchers, and public health practitioners, this course will highlight essential leadership knowledge and skills necessary to apply a life course perspective in practice. The course is self-directed, online, and open source, which allows participants to learn at their own speed and convenience free of charge. While the course is designed with clinical professionals and public health practitioners in mind, it is available to all learners including students and professionals in other fields.

Learning Objectives: Learning Objectives (comprehensive) By the end of the training series, participants will be able to: • Define and describe the life course perspective and its core concepts • Identify examples of how the life course perspective has been applied and implemented in practice settings across the MCAH field • Identify leadership knowledge and skills that support advancing a life course perspective in practice. • Apply life course perspective knowledge and leadership skills to individual professional development.

Special Instructions: Registration is required.

Annotation: Navigating complex systems of care is a struggle for children and youth with special health care needs and their families. Current approaches to improve the process overlooks families’ personal and community assets. A network science approach can demonstrate how to develop person-centered care navigation, coordination, and referrals for families in healthcare and community-based settings.

Learning Objectives: • Discover how the science of networks provides a unique lens to strengthen systems of care. • Explore applications of network science approaches within healthcare settings as a mechanism to transform practice and health outcomes.

Annotation: This talk focuses on how public health and preventive medical scientists, as well as developmental and reproductive toxicologists, interpret and apply life course health developmental principles, with an emphasis on the first four principles of the Life Course Health Development (LCHD) framework (Health Development, Unfolding, Complexity, and Timing). The focus of this talk is on early development and childhood.

Learning Objectives: 1. Identifying how systems biology concepts inform public health decisions for improving health development 2. Defining the life course “exposome” taking lessons from a child cohort study 3. Discussing approaches for improving our understanding of within and between human variability across development using evolutionary biology principles 4. Applying ontologies for linking and translating observations across model systems and biomarkers for informing human population research 5. Understanding how integrating systems biology concepts improves our health surveillance and intervention

Annotation: Fatality review includes information often not available through routine quantitative methods. Population data, such as vital statistics, are frequently used to complement fatality review findings. This presentation includes a demonstration of the CDC WONDER, an integrated information and communication system for public health developed by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The webinar also introduces participants to Perinatal Periods of Risk (PPOR), a comprehensive approach to help communities use data to reduce infant mortality. The webinar defines population based data, its limitations, limitations of case review data, how to interpret data in light of other evidence, different uses of data, PPOR analytic steps, and how FIMR and PPOR can work together. Available are the archive, slides, questions and answers, a handout, and information about CDC WONDER.

Annotation: In this webinar, Drs. Halfon and Forrest present the 7 principles that comprise their life course health development framework, including the empirical evidence that underlies each principle and the implications for future research. By shining a light on how early experience conditions future biological responses and influences health development pathways, the presenters hope to encourage theory building and testing, inspire innovative transdisciplinary research, and lead to future discussions that can help to mature the framework into a scientific model with descriptive, explanatory, and predictive utility.

Learning Objectives: • Introduce the Handbook of Life Course Health Development • Describe the emergence and maturation the Life Course Health Development (LCHD) Framework • Develop an understanding of each of the seven LCHD principles

Annotation: There is mounting recognition among health professionals that truly improving health outcomes in the U.S.—addressing acute conditions and the upstream social determinants that contribute to poor health—must be an interdisciplinary, cross-sector, and collaborative endeavor. To this end, the Public Health Leadership Forum (PHLF) at RESOLVE teamed with the Health Care Transformation Task Force (HCTTF) to develop a framework that supports enhanced collaboration between health care and public health entities. This framework, Partnering to Catalyze Comprehensive Community Wellness: An Actionable Framework for Health Care and Public Health Collaboration, outlines essential elements and key strategies for shaping effective, health-based collaboratives among public health, health care, and community-based organizations. In this web forum, members of the PHLF and HCTTF describe the essential elements of collaboration outlined in the framework, and speak to their experiences working to develop and sustain cross-sector collaborations in their organizations and communities. A video and transcript are available.
