COVID-19 has impacted the daily routines of patients and families. This educational course highlights the changes to family circumstances on structure, sleep, physical activity, nutrition and screen time and how to address in the pediatric primary care clinic. Community-based pediatric providers will be able to categorize types of health behavior concerns heightened by COVID-19 changes to life circumstances, identify strategies to address concerns for structure, sleep, physical activity and nutrition, and acknowledge increased screen use and provide families with non-screen activity ideas. As a result of the session, attendees will have tips and resources to support patients and families adopt or maintain healthy habits. This lecture is presented by Helen Binns, MD, MPH, Kavitha Selvaraj, MD, MPH, MAEd, Julie Adams, MS, RD, LDN, and Rebecca Unger, MD.
