The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency and quality of primary care physician (PCP) recommendations to investigate the management of young children with delays and self-injury (SIB; e.g., head banging) from the time of initial SIB concern to specialty referral as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). Via a structured electronic health record review, PCP referrals and recommendations were examined for a cohort of 250 children (10-59 months old) with delays and SIB. Only a small portion of cohort charts reviewed (8.0%) received AAP recommended intervention via referral to subspecialty providers by their PCP. Further, only 37.5% received SIB-specific care recommendations. Findings suggest that future targeted education is needed to improve primary care access to AAP recommended intervention for young children with delays and early SIB.
