Success in clinical research conducted by developmental-behavioral pediatricians and other MCH professionals can be enhanced through the application of theory and utilization of conceptual models to guide study design.
Learning Objectives: • Gain expertise in developing conceptual models based on theory, evidence and clinical experience; • Utilize conceptual models as a foundation for formulation of testable hypotheses; and • Apply conceptual models to study design.
The Emerging Theoretical Framework of Life Course Health Development. Year Developed: 2018. Source: UCLA Center for Healthier Children, Families & Communities, Maternal and Child Health Life Course Research Network (LCRN). Presenter(s): Neal Halfon, MD, MPH; Christopher Forrest, MD, PhD. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 15 minutes.
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
Getting Better All the Time: Considerations and Approaches for LSR Searching. Year Developed: 2018. Source: Cochrane Project Transform. Presenter(s): Robin Featherstone, Steve McDonald. Type: n.a.. Level: Intermediate. Length: 57 minutes. Slides
Annotation: This webinar describes the living systematic review (LSR) approach to maintaining the currency of systematic reviews of literature by using continual surveillance for new research evidence and inclluding relevant new information in systematic reviews in a timely manner. It also discusses features of the Cochrane LSR search. A video and slides are available.
Dissemination and Implementation Science: What is it and Why is it Critical to Translational Science? . Year Developed: 2018. Source: Clinical Directors Network. Presenter(s): Enola Proctor, PhD, MSW; Stephen Bartels, MD, MS; Laura-Mae Baldwin, MD, MPH. Type: Webinar. Level: Intermediate Advanced. Length: 56 minutes.
Annotation: This webinar presents the 'why' and 'what' of dissemination and implementation science. Speakers also address reversing health disparities in complex health conditions through implementation science.
Learning Objectives: • Know what dissemination, implementation, implementation science, and dissemination science are. • Understand the features of Dissemination and Implementation (D&I) research studies, and what makes D&I research studies different from usual clinical trials . • Be able to identify funding sources for D&I research.

Where To Find MCH Resources: An Introduction. Year Developed: 2017. Source: National Center for Education in Maternal and Child Health. Presenter(s): Keisha Watson and John Richards. Type: Narrated Slide Presentation. Level: Introductory. Length: 18 minutes.
Annotation: This short presentation discusses the information needs of MCH professionals and identifies distinct online resources to address those needs, from pop and professional sources such as Google, PubMed, and Wikipedia to grant-supported resources that address MCHB topical programs and initiatives. Topics include data warehouses, research centers, epidemiology sites, professional and membership organizations
Learning Objectives: • Identify information needs of professionals • Explain the differences between types of online resources • Differentiate between trusted and questionable online resources • Understand where to go to find additional resources
From Problem to Prevention: Evidence-Based Public Health. Year Developed: 2017. Source: National Network of Libraries of Medicine, Greater Midwest Region. Presenter(s): Derek Johnson, MLIS. Type: Webinar. Level: Introductory. Length: 60 minutes.
Annotation: This introductory webinar provides attendees with a basic definition and framework for evidence-based public health. Special attention is paid to three of the seven steps: Community Assessment, Determining What is Known in the Literature, and Evaluating the Program or Policy. Free resources are presented that can assist practitioners with these specific steps of the evidence-based public health framework.
Learning Objectives: • Define and describe evidence-based public health. • Identify a public health need and formulate an answerable question. • Locate and search applicable literature and resources. • Understand the importance of evaluation and locate helpful resources.
Special Instructions: Registration required before accessing this course.
Mental Health-Focused Methods and Tools to Support Evidence-Informed Decision Making. Year Developed: 2016. Source: National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools. Presenter(s): Susan Snelling, PhD. Type: Webinar Archive. Level: Introductory Intermediate. Length: 90 minutes. presentation slides
Annotation: This webinar on evidence-informed decision-making (EIDM) draws on The National Collaborating Centre for Methods and Tools (NCCMT)'s seven-step process, with reference to methods and tools for each step that are specific to mental health practice.

Building Evidence to Improve the Structure, Governance and Funding of Local Public Health Through Practice-Based Research Networks . Year Developed: 2015. Source: n.a.. Presenter(s): Justeen Hyde and Jennifer Kertanis. Type: Webinar. Level: Intermediate Advanced. Length: 50 minutes. TRAIN Link
Annotation: Are there better ways to organize, finance and deliver local public health services? Join us for a presentation of “real world” studies of local health departments in states of Connecticut and Massachusetts, two states with highly decentralized public health systems, that explore just that question. Learn about how practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are bringing together researchers and practitioners across the nation to identify strategies that work to maximize population health impact, cost effectiveness and health equity of public health systems.
Learning Objectives: • Describe the primary objectives of Public Health Systems and Services Research. • List at least three reasons why local health departments should be interested in the work of PBRNs. • Recognize how findings from CT and MA PBRN studies could be used to impact. • Recall how local health departments can learn more about PBRN research or participate in PBRN studies.

Breaking Down Infant Mortality: Achieving Measureable Impact through the CoIIN Approach. Year Developed: 2015. Source: Association of Maternal and Child Health Programs. Presenter(s): Elaine Fitzgerald, DrPH, MIA; Ellen Pliska, MHS, CPH; Vanessa Lee, MPH. Type: Video. Level: Intermediate. Length: 60 minutes.
Annotation: This workshop presented a framework developed by the National Institute for Children’s Health Quality (NICHQ) for MCH leaders to use in determining their strategic priorities for reducing infant mortality. The Collaborative Improvement and Innovation Network (CoIIN) to Reduce Infant Mortality is a multiyear, national program to save babies’ lives through quality improvement, collaborative learning and collaborative innovation. The CoIIN framework is a tool that enables states, MCH officials and all stakeholders to break down the complex, multifaceted issue of infant mortality into practical, achievable steps for improvement – first, by organizing actions by periods of engagement and then by specific strategies.
