Also, clinicians should focus particular attention on younger children and girls whose parents have concerns about behavior or feelings. The Child Behavior Study was a national study conducted in partnership between PROS and ASPN, a family practice research network. The study examined primary care management of psychosocial problems for children through data on parent-reported behaviors and clinician reported management. Subjects included children aged 4 to 15 years, presenting for single, non-emergent visits in the presence of a parent or caregiver. This first manuscript was published in the November 1997 issue of Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine.
