| A new series of manuals, Bright Futures Case Studies for
Primary Care Clinicians, translates clinical guidelines into
useful training modules for health care providers.
The three new Bright Futures volumes are A Guide to the
Case Teaching Method; and Growth in Children and Adolescents,
Child Development and Behavior and Adolescent Health.
Bright Futures is a series of materials that providers serving
children and adolescents can use to establish partnerships with
their patients’ families, schools and communities and organize
activities that promote health. Other Bright Futures materials
offer clinicians perspective on how children grow and develop
as well as information on nutrition, health supervision and
oral health.
Training modules include case narratives, handouts such as
growth charts, bibliographies and teaching guides. All materials
were developed and rated by faculty and residents in family
medicine, pediatrics, nursing, social work and psychology, dentistry,
nutrition and other areas of practice. Case studies encourage
active discussion to explore the best ways providers can deal
with patients and their families, promote patient health and
safety, solve problems and diagnose conditions.
The new manuals are supported by HRSA’s Maternal and Child
Health Bureau and the Genentech Foundation for Growth and Development
and were developed by the Bright Futures Center for Pediatric
Education in Growth and Development, Behavior, and Adolescent
Health at Children’s Hospital, Boston.
