Product Description:

Ms. Madison developed a two-page brochure addressing the importance of sleep as a contributor to childhood obesity. The brochure was developed for Pediatricians in the Alta Med Primary Care Clinic, a Federally Qualified Health Center. The goal of the project was to provide primary care providers with a resource they can present to, and discuss with parents. The Brochure includes a summary of the scientific evidence linking poor sleep with obesity risk, provides tips and strategies for parents to use at home and identifies additional resources. The brochure, available in English and Spanish will be distributed by providers in Alta Med at CHLA and will also be used by other physicians in the CHLA Sleep Clinic. Ms. Madison presented the brochure and evidence along with Dr. Sally Ward, Pulmonologist to the AltaMed Attendings at their noon conference with Continuing Medical Education Credits awarded.
