The VFBA is an innovative population health approach that focuses on the entire family, recognizes the central role of emotional and behavioral health in child development, uses evidence-based health promotion in addition to treatment, and intervenes early in children’s lives. The RCT tested the following: 1) the feasibility of the VFBA in a primary care pediatric setting; and 2) its effects on family health.
