APPLICATION DEADLINE: May 2, 2022, 4 p.m. CDT.
$ AVAILABLE: Five awards of up to $80,000 each.
ELIGIBILITY: Local or state health departments and other nonprofit organizations or academic institutions that currently have an active academic detailing program are eligible to apply. Project proposals must identify the existence of these programs and capacity to pilot an academic detailing project for pediatricians.
PURPOSE: Academic detailing is an established technique that has been shown to change the behavior of providers. The technique uses on-on-one interactions between an academic detailer and a provider, establishing a relationship in which the detailer shares up to date and accurate information that can benefit patients. Academic detailing has been demonstrated to be an effective method of changing the behavior of pediatric providers in a variety of clinical areas, including teaching pediatricians about suspected child abuse and neglect. This pilot aims to determine whether academic detailers and detailing sessions can assist pediatricians in identifying, celebrating, and promoting positive childhood experiences that contribute to mental and physical health without stigma or labeling by asking questions, actively listening, assessing situations and signs of mental health problems, and referring families to resources and services when desired.
