Brief Summary

The proposed study is a pre- /post-implementation study in a pediatric practice with a control practice designed to test the feasibility and effectiveness of an electronic screening and service delivery tool for three modifiable health risk factors in pediatrics: parental tobacco use, sugar-sweetened beverages consumption, and poor dental care

  Pre-implementation (baseline) and Post-implementation

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Parent report of behavior change intention related to parental smoking, child sugar sweetened beverage consumption and child's dental appointment

  At baseline and one month follow-up

• Reported behavior change related to parental smoking, child sugar sweetened beverage consumption and child's dental appointment

  one month follow-up

Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

The intervention group will receive the TEACH intervention - an electronic tablet screening in waiting room for the modifiable risk factors

Behavioral: TEACH intervention

Control

NO INTERVENTION

Care as usual: No electronic tablet in waiting room

Interventions

TEACH intervention BEHAVIORAL

The TEACH intervention screens family for three modifiable behaviors ahead of the clinical encounter: parental tobacco use, children consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages and child dental health. The information from the screening is then shared with clinicians.
