On March 1, WTNH News 8 featured CHDI in a story about screening new moms in pediatric primary care settings. A patient advocate talks about her experience years ago before there was screening for maternal depression and Lisa Honigfeld speaks about CHDI's work on this topic.
Over the past three years, through CHDI's Educating Practices program, CHDI has trained 226 pediatric health providers in 31 practices to screen for maternal mental illness. As a result of both training and reimbursement, the number of screens for maternal depression billed to Medicaid nearly tripled from 2013 to 2014. Learn more about CHDI's work on this topic.
