A central mission of the ABCD program is to enhance low-income parents' understanding of early childhood development, improve their parenting skills, and help them take full advantage of all the health care system can offer their infant or toddler. To gain insight into families' experiences with pediatric clinicians and find out what kinds of support they would consider most helpful, this project will survey Medicaid parents in the four states participating in the ABCD initiative.
