The purpose of this study is to (1) retrospectively characterize the specific implementation strategies employed to deliver a coordinated set of evidence-based screening and linkage practices to facilitate identification and treatment of early developmental and social-emotion problems; and (2) examine preliminary indicators of the impact of these strategies.

The purpose of this article is to describe the impact of current and evolving immigration policy on the health of unaccompanied children, to delineate barriers to care and challenges they face prior to gaining legal relief, and to suggest policy recommendations that support health and safety for them from the point of apprehension to and through achieving legal status.
