Despite an early interest in pediatrics among psychologists and a natural partnership between psychology and pediatrics, psychologists' impact on services for children in primary care settings could be much greater than it is. The purpose of this article is to describe the special contributions of pediatric psychologists and pediatricians in the development of comprehensive, integrated systems of health care for children; the importance of health behavior change as a preventive measure in the lives of children and adolescents; and how psychologists, through their leadership in clinical, research, and advocacy efforts, can harness the important resources of family relationships to promote the health of children.
尽管心理学家对儿科学早期就产生了兴趣，心理学和儿科学之间也存在天然的合作关系，但心理学家对初级保健环境中儿童服务的影响可能比现在大得多。本文的目的是描述儿科心理学家和儿科医生在为儿童开发综合、整合的医疗保健系统方面的特殊贡献；描述健康行为改变作为儿童和青少年生活中的预防措施的重要性；以及心理学家如何通过在临床、研究和宣传工作中的领导作用，利用家庭关系的重要资源来促进儿童的健康。
