Improving the preparation of preclinical students for taking sexual histories.

The authors evaluated human sexuality training programs at two California medical schools. In one program, students had no experience taking a sexual history. In the other, students were randomly assigned either to conduct or to observe a brief sexual history interview with a community volunteer. The students who conducted an interview showed more significant improvements in knowledge of human sexuality, perceived appropriateness of taking a sexual history and perceived personal skill in taking a sexual history than did the students who neither observed nor took a sexual history and also developed more critical views of practicing physicians' skills in taking such histories. The students who observed an interview improved more in knowledge and perceived personal skill than did the students who had no interview experience.

Interprofessional collaboration: who is doing it? Who isn't?

A questionnaire about practice in the area of physician-educator collaboration and behavioral-developmental pediatrics was obtained from 239 California primary care pediatricians. The survey examined the characteristics of physicians who do and do not collaborate, as well as their perceptions of the advantages of and barriers to interprofessional collaborations. The results indicated that, whereas most (88%) respondents indicate that communication among educators and physicians is sometimes or frequently useful when patients have behavioral, developmental, and chronic health disorders, only 17% actually communicate frequently by telephone or meeting with educators. The characteristics of physicians who collaborate the most frequently include factors such as small groups or solo practices in rural areas, use of routine developmental screening, training in working with teachers, training in behavioral and developmental pediatrics, and higher estimates of the number of patients with behavioral and developmental disorders in their practice. The relationship between physician characteristics and frequency of collaboration is analyzed and discussed. Physicians' perceptions of the collaboration process and suggestions for improving collaboration are discussed.

A community model for physician, educator, and parent collaboration for management of children with developmental and behavioral disorders.

This article describes a model for physician, educator, and parent collaboration in the management of children with developmental and behavioral disorders. The results of implementing the model with 256 professionals and parents of developmentally disabled children are described and discussed. The benefits of using the model in school districts and/or communities seeking to improve interprofessional collaboration and work with families are presented. The model has been demonstrated to be effective in producing practical solutions for improving collaboration that is relevant to local community barriers and based on input from physicians, educators, and parents.
