Abstract

Child and Youth Health Care (CYHC) is the branch of primary care that aims at an early identification of paediatric health problems with a special focus on developmental conditions. Recent advances in genetics and neuroscience reveal that developmental conditions are in most cases multifactorial: they do not have one single cause but rather develop due to longitudinal interplay between biological and environmental factors. In order to incorporate new scientific knowledge into the daily practice of CYHC important changes are necessary. The CYHC system should move away from a purely diagnostic approach and instead focus on the early identification of children at risk, the prevention of developmental problems at various stages and the provision of personalised interventions. To that end, it should follow the principles of personalised care, adapt its interventions to each individual child and work together with parents. This shift also calls for a more active involvement of parents within CYHC.
