This case-based interactive program was developed as a campaign in response to a post 9/11 survey which showed that pediatricians and primary care physicians wanted additional training in screening for signs of posttraumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and bereavement in children who had been exposed to the events of 9/11. Other elements of the campaign include posters, a tool kit, and a series of outreach programs conducted by the principal investigators in the program. The American Academy of Pediatrics awarded Feelings Need Check Ups Too 4 hours of CME credit and distributed the program not only to its membership but also to school nurses, military pediatricians, and family physicians all over the US.
