### Research & Development

**Collaborative Office Rounds**  
This is an ongoing effort to engage community pediatricians in case-based learning related to mental health issues that arise in their routine clinical practices. Drs. Howard and Sturner have continuously led groups of pediatricians in such sessions since the inception of the Maternal and Child Health Bureau sponsored program for over twenty years. In recent years the program has utilized web-based discussions of children evaluated with the aid of the CHADIS system. Child psychiatrists have also been involved in these collaborative learning seminars.

**Funding:**  
The Maternal and Child Health Bureau
