The Association of Adverse Childhood Experiences With Anxiety and Depression for Children and Youth, 8 to 17 Years of Age.
To determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression and examine their association with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) among children and adolescents ages 8 to 17 years old. ⋯ Our study demonstrates a differential association between ACEs and anxiety and depression. This highlights the importance of assessing the impact of ACEs on internalizing behaviors separately. These findings are significant for pediatric providers as diagnosis and treatment for mental health disorders are vital components of pediatric care and further support the American Academy of Pediatrics' recommendation to screen for ACEs.

Utility of Residency Milestones Reported to Fellowship Directors: A National Survey of Pediatric Fellowship Program Directors.
The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education recently made available final residency Milestones for first-year fellows to fellowship program directors (FPDs). Usefulness of residency Milestones for fellows is unknown. Our objective was to determine how many pediatric FPDs downloaded final residency Milestones for their first-year fellows and FPD perspectives about usefulness of residency Milestones. ⋯ Most FPDs find residency Milestones to be of limited utility for their fellows and do not use residency Milestones to tailor education for their first-year fellows. Improving relevance of residency Milestones to fellowship training, validity, and how Milestones are assessed and reported may improve their usefulness for fellow training.
