Needs Statement
Despite the fact that children were suspected to be and ultimately proved to be significant victims and vectors of H1N1 pandemic flu, results from our study reveal that most preparedness planning did not design response strategies tailored for young people and their caregivers. In fact, family-centered care approaches were rarely emphasized in preparedness planning and infrequently selected as the framework for public health and clinical interventions. This research also found that children who were quarantined or isolated during H1N1 suffered Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) at rates similar to those children who have survived major natural disasters and their parents were disproportionately suffering from PTSD as well. Unfortunately, behavioral health responses (prevention, triage, assessment, and intervention services) generally were not effectively in place to counter these high levels of stress responses. Effective financing mechanisms for behavioral health assessment and intervention (via alternative and traditional means), behavioral health best practice communication and implementation, and behavioral health screening technologies were not available for response in the recent pandemic. This module provides evidence-informed guidelines to inform a response to pandemic that promotes child and family resiliency.
