Utah conducted three learning collaboratives-- two on social-emotional development (one for infants and a second for toddlers) and a third on maternal depression that telecast to two rural areas of the state to be accessible to rural providers. The collaboratives were developed through the Utah Pediatric Partnership to Improve Healthcare Quality (UPIQ). Results show increased use of a standardized screening tool by pediatricians and improvements in identifying children.

This section contains resources for "Testing Models" developed by Utah.

• Screening for Post-Partum or Maternal Depression Learning Collaborative Initial Assessment
  Utah ABCD Project (2006) This self-administered survey for providers who participated in the Maternal Depression Learning Collaborative was designed to evaluate providers' readiness to implement and integrate parental depression screening into their practice flow. The form also provides an opportunity to access follow-up technical assistance from ABCD staff.

  Scott Allen, Lori Smith, Carrie Fitzgerald (2007). This presentation (shared at the June 18, 2007 ABCD TA call) describes why stakeholder engagement is important and details how three states (Illinois, Utah, and Iowa) reached out to stakeholders and structured their advisory groups.
