Behavioral Health

This module describes how the field of neonatology implements a preventative approach to caring for infants born preterm, in both evaluation and treatment of the medical, psychological, and social comorbidities to which they are prone. Parallels are made to ways the field of child psychiatry can adopt a similar preventative approach to caring for children and families predisposed to poor mental health outcomes due to biological and social risk factors. The potential barriers, strategies, and downstream benefits to such a preventative approach within child psychiatry are explored.
