As you know, I’m now the Web and Social Media Editor at JAMA Pediatrics. We’ve got a podcast where I discuss a paper from the journal. I do my best to pick good ones.

Please consider giving this a listen, and subscribe! Doing so makes it more likely that I’ll be able to keep doing this.

This week, I’m covering “Patterns of Early Mental Health Diagnosis and Medication Treatment in a Medicaid-Insured Birth Cohort”:

This audio summary reviews a study that uses Medicaid claims data to track the cumulative incidence of psychiatric diagnoses, psychotropic medication use, and psychiatric services use in a cohort of children from birth to 8 years of age.
