Product Description

Dr. Egger reviews the epidemiology of medical injury, illness, and trauma in young children and their associations with children’s emotional and behavioral problems, parental distress and psychiatric symptoms, as well as child and family impairment in functioning during and after these medical traumas.

Dr. Egger further examines the data from previous a previous community study of mental health in preschoolers to assess the prevalence of medical illness and injury in these young children.

The viewer will:

Understand the need to expand assessment measures of the etiology of psychopathology in young children to include the first years of life.
Reflect on why pediatric illness and injury have not previously been in the purview of infant mental health research and intervention.
