As a result of its Fund-supported Assuring Better Child Health and Development (ABCD) project, North Carolina Medicaid has produced a successful model for integrating standardized developmental screening into well-child care visits. In July 2004, the agency decided to expand the model statewide. Officials from around the country have requested guidance from North Carolina in replicating the model in their own states. This grant will enable the North Carolina ABCD team to assist pediatric practices and state health policy officials in five states and to revise resource materials for a national audience.
