We are pleased to announce that the latest issue of the Journal of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (JEHDI) is now available for free downloads. The aim of JEHDI is to promote access to evidence-based practice, standards of care, and research focused on all aspects of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention. Taking a broad systems perspective, JEHDI focuses on newborn and early childhood hearing screening, diagnosis, family support, early intervention, the medical home, information management, financing, quality improvement and other key factors critical for an effective EHDI system.

You can find the articles included in Volume 5: Issue 1 at https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/jehdi/ to view or download at no cost any of these and all past articles. During just the last year, there have been almost 25,000 downloads of JEHDI! We hope you will enjoy reading the excellent articles in this issue and that you will continue to look to JEHDI for learning about recent advances in research and practice and as an outlet for your future research publications.
