On Air with the

Pediatric Meltdown Podcast

Lia Gaggino, MD, a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Board of Directors, invited The Roadmap Project to participate in her podcast, Pediatric Meltdown, that focuses on pediatric mental, emotional, and behavioral health.

Dr. Gaggino was joined by Roadmap patient partner Meg Didier, Roadmap parent partner Robyn Kinebrew, Roadmap faculty Lori Crosby, PsyD, and Carole Lannon, MD, MPH, to discuss the importance of addressing emotional health in patients with chronic conditions and strategies for doing so.

Addressing the Impact of

Being Black While Living with a Chronic Condition

The impact of being Black while living with a chronic condition: Inpatient perspectives,

published earlier this year in the Journal of Hospital Medicine, calls attention to identified areas of concern for Black patients and parents during hospitalization and discusses actionable strategies for improvement. The article was a qualitative summary of lessons learned from the Roadmap Project.

Roadmap Project faculty Lori Crosby, PsyD developed a short video that summarizes key themes and change strategies from the publication. She describes how healthcare providers can build a safe space when asking about and addressing the emotional health of Black patients and their families. This video can be helpful for individuals and for using in educational activities that support learners in addressing emotional health.

The Roadmap Project is made possible with support from the American Board of Pediatrics Foundation and the David R. Clare and Margaret C. Clare Foundation.
