Dr. Barkin is internationally known in the field of community-based behavioral interventions for prevention of violence and childhood obesity in underserved populations. She has developed novel sustainable community-academic partnerships with the AAP, YWCA and city government to develop and test pragmatic behavioral interventions to improve children’s health. She conducted the first intervention trial in the PROS Network, including 5,000 families in 41 states, Canada and Puerto Rico. This office-based violence prevention trial demonstrated the effectiveness of pediatric counseling for firearm safe storage and still stands as the largest published anticipatory guidance randomized controlled trial.
