Maternal-Infant Health: Opportunity to Share Your Story

T​he American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) is recruiting pediatric primary care practices to participate in informative interviews to discuss models of care that embrace the core tenants of the pediatric medical home. This project aims to augment the current digital library of practice models that foster supportive environments for the families affected by parental opioid use. Interviewees will be asked to reflect on how they reinforce families' strengths and support parents in recovery. Promising Practices aim to encourage pediatric practices to consider recovery friendly approaches within the pediatric medical home framework. A letter of recognition is offered to the participating practices as a means for facilitating internal and external communication with their local, state or regional stakeholders.

Interested practices are invited to respond to this initial application. The core planning team that provides clinical oversight to the Maternal-Infant Health and Opioid Use program will review the applications. Selected applicants will be invited to participate in a 1-hour interview to discuss their program. A summary of the practice will be posted to the digital library on AAP.org/NOWS webpage.​​
