Integrating Psychology within Pediatric Medical Care: Implications for High-Risk Asthma, Weight Management, and Sickle Cell Disease
Difficult to control asthma, pediatric obesity, and sickle cell disease are multifactorial problems with numerous contributory factors, including limited access to financial and social resources, as well as psychosocial stressors that can affect treatment adherence and healthcare engagement. Although these contributory factors have been well established, only a limited number of children’s hospitals have established multidisciplinary care within these disease groups (severe pediatric asthma, pediatric weight management, and sickle cell disease), to comprehensively address the aforementioned risk factors and optimize treatment care and outcomes through a holistic, collaborative model. Within the realm of pediatric health, there are known disparities in access and utilization of mental health services especially for diverse or underrepresented populations. For Latinx and Black communities, negative biases and mental health stigma have perpetuated barriers to accessing care. Embedding pediatric psychologists into medical care can address mental health disparities for populations who have been historically underserved, which is modeled across these three disease groups.
This presentation summarizes our institution’s allied health approach to managing difficult to control pediatric asthma, treating pediatric obesity, and addressing the psychosocial impact of sickle cell disease with particular emphasis on the role of psychology in targeting adherence, treatment engagement, comorbid mental health symptoms, and additional lifestyle risk factors.
Learning Objectives:
By completing this program, participants will able to:
1. identify background on pediatric asthma, obesity, and sickle cell disease and implications of social determinants of health on disease outcomes.
2. describe the role of Pediatric Psychology and multidisciplinary care within medical settings.
3. list key motivational interviewing techniques to promote improved adherence for managing pediatric chronic illnesses.
4. describe brief, evidence-based interventions to address comorbid mental health concerns in multidisciplinary settings.
Presenter: Julia LaMotte, PhD, HSPP, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics at Indiana University School of Medicine
Dr. LaMotte is a pediatric psychologist who specializes in working with children, adolescents, and young adults with chronic medical conditions. Dr. LaMotte is passionate about supporting children as they live a fulfilling life with their illness and strives to address disparities in care including mental health services. She received her Doctorate of Philosophy (PhD) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Georgia and completed her clinical internship as an integrated behavioral health scholar at Dell Children’s Medical Center in Austin, TX. Additionally, she completed a postdoctoral fellowship at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia centered around providing evidence-based interventions from the time of prenatal diagnosis of a congenital heart defect through transition from pediatric to adult health care. She is now an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, and provides clinical services to children with Kidney Disease or Sickle Cell Disease at Riley Hospital for Children. As a clinician scientist, her research aims to understand and address barriers to equitable access to care in pediatric populations wherein social determinants of health impact disease outcomes. Dr. LaMotte is particularly interested in how language perpetuates disparities. Her work includes developing and implementing a cultural humility through mindful reflective practice curriculum designed for pediatric medical residents.

Presenter: Maureen E. McQuillan, PhD, HSPP, Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, Indiana University School of Medicine
Dr. McQuillan earned her PhD in Clinical Science in the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and completed her clinical internship and fellowship at Indiana University School of Medicine in Indianapolis, IN. She is now an Assistant Professor of Clinical Pediatrics, working in pediatric behavioral sleep medicine and high-risk asthma at Riley Hospital for Children. Her research program aims to advance understanding of the development and treatment of sleep problems in children and their families, particularly among high stress, underserved populations. Her three primary lines of research are 1) interrelations between parent-child sleep and behavior across early childhood, 2) the development and treatment of insomnia and comorbid concerns among adolescents, and 3) health disparities involved in the detection and treatment of pediatric obstructive sleep apnea. Dr. McQuillan has published 16 peer-reviewed research articles and 5 book chapters to date concerning these topics.
