The AAP’s Screening Technical Assistance & Resource Center (STAR Center) invites practices that provide pediatric care to share successful strategies and innovative approaches for effective screening, referral, and follow-up for child development, maternal depression, and social determinants of health. Whether it’s a great reminder system for screenings, a partnership to provide co-located services that makes the referral process easier, or a family-centered approach that promotes continuous feedback and improvement, we want to hear about it. Submissions will be reviewed by an expert panel and, if selected, will be displayed on our Web site (aap.org/screening) as Successful Strategies in Screening to assist others in developing a screening process.

For the purposes of this form, a screening process is defined as the method of early identification and intervention for potential risks to a child’s development through ongoing surveillance, routine screening per AAP guidelines, family-centered discussion of results, interpretation, and—when concerns are identified—referral and follow-up.

If your practice or institution has a successful strategy that you would like to share, please complete the following information. If upon reviewing this application you feel you have a comprehensive screening process, please see our Model Screening Process form. A model screening process contains most of the recommended components of a screening process - including a family-centered approach, administration of screenings per AAP guidelines, and a well-developed referral and follow-up system.
