Implementation efforts are designed to identify strategies to facilitate the reach and uptake of evidence-based programs and research developed as part of the DoD Child Collaboration project. Making this information available and accessible for use by professionals, families, leaders, and policymakers will enhance access to patient-centered care and support for military youth with mental health, emotional, developmental, and/or behavioral (MEDB) needs and their families. Several digital tools and resources are being developed that leverage technological advancements to remove barriers to access to care and support, ultimately improving the quality and efficiency of services for military youth. Additionally, working across an extensive network of invested collaborators, efforts are taking place to identify methods to promote improved sharing of resources and information. In doing so, resources and information will be more easily accessed by professionals supporting military youth and youth and families with MEDB needs.
