This article from Quartz explores the work of "a trail-blazing and controversial group of scientists, pediatricians, and community leaders" trying to address the impacts of early stress and adversity on children's development and identify "ways to detect which infants are experiencing the effects of stress, and which babies are more resilient" in an effort to "help direct very limited resources to the kids who need it most."
"The point of the group," says the article, "is to have scientists figuring out how to measure stress effects, while pediatricians and community members figure out what treatments are feasible to offer in a visit, and what will be useful to families."
