The importance of home visiting in the overall strategy for promoting the health and development of children and families is still being debated. In a 1980 conference in which the role of home visiting in delivering preventive services to families with young children was explored, a number of rather heterogeneous programs were examined. There was little agreement concerning why one program appeared to be effective and another did not. Some of the variables thought to be related to positive outcomes were the timing of the intervention (prenatal vs postnatal); intensity (weekly or more vs monthly or less); duration (a year or more vs less than a year); how careful was the selection, training and supervision, and continuing education of the home visitors; content of the intervention (specific educational content and/or emotional support); the overall framework of the intervention (child centered, family centered, ecologic); and the research design and sample size.

Assuring that all children with special health care needs have access to family-centered, community-based, coordinated care, as described by Brewer et al in this issue of Pediatrics, is a timely and commendable goal that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) shares. Pediatricians have a major role to play in the shaping of these services and assuring their accessibility by the children who need them. Last winter, the AAP held three task force meetings to discuss the role of pediatricians vis-á-vis the case manager/care coordinator. A consensus emerged from these meetings that a variety of roles should be available to pediatricians, depending upon the child's diagnosis, the pediatrician's training and interest, the skills of the family, and the community services available.

This chapter looks at the role of primary health care in community health. Primary care, it argues, has built on its historical roots of holistic family-centered care to embrace the broader concept of population health. The chapter looks at the evolution of care models from patient/family-centered to panel management (the sum of patients being cared for by a primary care practice), to community health management. This broader concept of health necessitates collaboration with partners outside the clinical practice, including public health professionals, policymakers, schools, housing, parks and recreation, law enforcement, transportation, and food systems. The chapter describes the population and community framework and its historical role in the development of primary care, and then turns to the proposal of pragmatic approaches that busy primary care clinicians and care teams can use to integrate population health approaches into their practices.

AbstractDoes the family involvement affect exports in the family firm? The literature seems to support this view even if the direction and magnitude of this impact remains controversial. Drawing on the perspectives of agency [Chrisman et al. 2004; Schulze et al. 2001] and stewardship as applied to family firms [Davis, Schoorman and Donaldson 1997] and also on socio-emotional wealth perspective [Gómez-Mejía et al. 2007], this study seeks to contribute to this debate by studying the influence of family involvement on the SME exports intensity. To reconcile the divergent views, our research attempts to assess the role of the manager’s international orientation as a variable moderating the relationship between family involvement and exports in SMEs. Based on a hypothetical-deductive approach, the study uses a sample data of 125 family SMEs obtained through a questionnaire. The results show that even if the positive influence of the manager’s international orientation is corroborated, its moderating role seems to be limited to only one facet of the construct of family involvement i.e. involvement in management. Moreover, owning-family involvement in management seems to negatively influence exports while some results argue for a positive effect of the family involvement in ownership on exports.

This research aimed to analyze family firm governance, earning quality, andfirm performance of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia StockExchange. This study also investigated the mediating effect of earning qualityon the effect of family governance toward firm performance. Earning quality is measured by earning persistence, earning predictability, earning smoothness, and accrual quality. Firm’s performance is measured by market performancein Tobin-q and operational performance in return on asset. This research usedpooled data in which earning persistence and earning predictability need 11 until 16 years observations, earning smoothness needs 2 until 7- year-observations, and accrual quality needs 12 years observations. The hypotheses testing used pathanalysis. To find empirical evidence, the main hypothesis testing was done bytesting 16 sub-hypotheses. The mediating role of earnings quality was proved bythe measurement of earnings persistence, earnings predictability, and quality ofaccruals. The role of earning quality on the effect of family governance toward firm  performance is confirmed. The results show, as much as 6 sub - hypothesessupport the main hypothesis. This study finds  the empirical evidence of the roleof earning quality  on the effecf of family governance  reflected  in the involvementof family in board of commisioner toward firm performance (Tobin-q, ROA).Keywords - Business management, family firm, firm performance, family governance, earning quality, descriptive design, Indonesia
