American Academy of Pediatrics Illinois Chapter

Program: Enhancing Developmentally-Oriented Primary Care (EDOPC)

Description: Enhancing Developmentally Oriented Primary Care (EDOPC) was a three-year (2005-2007) education and policy project to improve the health and development of young children in Illinois. As studies have consistently indicated, pediatricians and other health care providers can significantly improve care by increasing the use of validated screening tools and referring at-risk and delayed children for services. EDOPC taught the use of validated tools to screen for developmental, social-emotional (mental health), maternal depression, autism, and domestic violence issues with the 0-3 population.
