Clinicians Enhancing Child Health

Director: Ardis L. Olson, MD
Research Manager: Cecelia A. Gaffney, MEd

The Clinicians Enhancing Child Health (CECH) network, established in 1999, is a northern New England primary care practice research network based at Dartmouth Medical School.

Partnering for Change

Did you know that 80-90% of New England teens reported a major health risk at a recent well visit? A third of teens have three or more health risks.

Clinicians can help your teen patients improve their health through enhanced screening and counseling. The Healthy Teens program provides tools and training for a new approach to adolescent health risk behavior counseling.

Testimonial: “The use of the screener and brief motivational interviewing techniques has really changed how I discuss issues and I am now able to engage teens in discussion of how they plan to make changes.”
