New Report Addresses the State of Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Health in Children and Youth

Emmeline Edwards, Ph.D.
September 17, 2019

Building knowledge about how complementary and integrative approaches could be useful across the life span, including to support emotional well-being, is one of NCCIH’s high-priority prevention topics. Last year, NCCIH cosponsored a roundtable of experts to assess current research opportunities and gaps in emotional well-being research. Today, I’m pleased to announce that an evidence-based consensus study report—cosponsored by NCCIH and authored by an expert panel—was just released by the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM): Fostering Healthy Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Development in Children and Youth.

New September Issue of Clinical DigestMind and Body Approaches for Chronic Pain

This issue of the digest summarizes current scientific research about mind and body approaches for chronic pain, including fibromyalgia, headache, low-back pain, neck pain, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

The scientific research to date suggests that some mind and body approaches may provide modest effects that help individuals manage the day-to-day variations in their chronic pain symptoms. However, in some instances, the amount of evidence is too small to clearly show whether an approach is useful.
