Abstract:
Parental incarceration (PI) is a potentially traumatic stressor that affects 1 in 14 US children, carrying significant implications for physical, behavioral, and socioeconomic health. This article provides a resource on PI for pediatric primary care providers (PCPs), outlining the basics of the criminal-legal system, evidence on health effects, and clinical management within the medical home. PCPs can offer comprehensive care through fostering therapeutic alliance with families and supporting nurturing relationships and self-regulation skills for affected children. Employing a tiered response framework, clinicians can mitigate the effects of PI and help these children flourish despite adversity.
