We have now finished recruiting children for the VOICES study.... A publication detailing the results of the study and other observations will be released in 2011
The University of Florida, College of Medicine opened in 1956 and included Child and Adolescent Psychiatry services from its inception under the direction of Dr. Henry C. Schumaker. His work as a physician was shaped by an awareness of poverty during the Depression era, nesting the earliest psychosocial framings of child developmental formulation solidly in the circumstances of child family life. Throughout leadership changes over the years we remain involved in clinical leadership and research emphasis providing attention to the developmental needs of children. We remain cognizant of the pressing needs of childhood in a complicated modern world, and with our colleagues in the Departments of Pediatrics and Psychiatry, we know we are intertwined in the challenges of healthy generativity, nurturance, and maturation in a great mandala.

The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia has developed the region's largest and most comprehensive center for diagnosing and treating attention and learning problems in children and adolescents.
Our work aims to improve the quality of pediatric health and mental health services for children afflicted by chronic medical or psychiatric conditions. We study the development and implementation of clinical informatics, assessment tools and patient engagement strategies in enhancing outcomes for children, adolescents and their families. We focus on care for high risk families in public sector and primary care services. Specific projects include designing new automated patient evaluation and monitoring tools, clinician decision support and methods of evaluating outcomes.
