Often serving children and families at the frontlines of stress, CCLS's have ethical and professional responsibilities to provide care grounded in the frontlines of research. However, it can be hard to find the time to review, critique, and integrate empirical evidence efficiently and effectively. To help you stay up-to-date, this panel presentation will summarize and facilitate group discussion on four hot-off-thepress research studies - each with the capacity to revolutionize child life assessment and intervention. DOMAIN: Professional Responsibility

Objectives:

  • Participants will examine the state of child life research over the past year, with attention to trends in topics, populations, domains, and techniques studied.
  • Participants will review four critical publications from the past year, recognizing and discussing direct implications for child life assessment, intervention, professional responsibility, and diversity, equity, and inclusion.
  • Participants will gain insight into techniques for finding, critiquing, and applying research evidence to child life administration, education, and practice.
