Biography:
Dr. Solomon’s clinical and research interests include youth violence prevention, community pediatrics training, the delivery of mental health services in primary care settings and medical education. For the last several years he has collaborated with faculty in the Center for Injury Research and Policy evaluating the impact of various clinic-based safety initiatives on the home safety practices of urban families. Dr. Solomon was actively involved with the implementation and evaluation of a school-based, group-mentoring intervention designed to foster academic engagement and prevent aggressive behavior among sixth grade children in Baltimore City. He works with faculty in the Bloomberg School of Public Health on the Dyson Initiative National Evaluation. The goal of this project is to assess the impact of a national training initiative on incorporating community-based activities into pediatric residency programs and to assess the influence these activities have on the careers of individual residents. His current interests relate to the provision of children’s mental health services in primary care settings and pediatric residency training in this area. With faculty in the Division of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, Dr. Solomon has established a model of on-site services in the Harriet Lane Clinic, which includes mental health consultation services for children and adolescents, as well as a new screening and referral service for mothers with postpartum depression. He also works very closely with medical students as a Core Faculty member in the Colleges Advisory Program in the School of Medicine.
