In Summer 2021, the Office of Head Start (OHS)* and Bureau of Primary Health Care (BPHC)* will launch the Screenings 2 Services Challenge. This Innovation Challenge invites applicants to first propose and then develop innovative approaches to help children receive health, educational, and social services based on identified needs from developmental screenings, with a goal of promoting children’s health and wellbeing.

Your feedback will be used to help inform Challenge planning. The survey should take approximately five minutes to complete. Thank you for taking time to share your feedback!

*OHS and BPHC are programs of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Health Resources & Services Administration’s (HRSA), respectively

Background: The Issue​

Millions of children experience developmental, health, and socioeconomic challenges. Primary care providers and early childhood professionals play a key role in screening for developmental milestones, such as delays in speaking, cognition, and motor skills, and identifying risk factors that consider social determinants of health, such as economic instability and limited access to quality health care. These professionals often connect children who are at-risk to additional services or further evaluation.

Unfortunately, those most in need often do not access these follow-up services and resources to address their challenges, which can have lasting impacts on the child’s development. The COVID-19 pandemic has made it even more challenging to access childhood screenings and follow-up care.

Questions:

1. To what extent were you aware of this difficulty in connecting children to the recommended services after developmental screenings?

• Unaware

• Somewhat aware

• Aware

• Very Aware
