Public Health Initiative

Since 2004 the NFFR has collaborated with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and their public health centers in Arkansas, Iowa, and New York to conduct studies on children with craniofacial malformations. This work evaluates access to treatment, quality of care, parental satisfaction, quality of life, and physicians’ understanding of facial anomalies. These studies have resulted in six published papers, national treatment guidelines for craniosynostosis, and web-based courses for physicians and nurses.
