- Gender diverse youth (GDY) face greater mental health challenges compared to their cisgender peers, but feeling supported by family, school, and community can help improve their well-being.
- A study involving youth aged 12-19 revealed that cisgender youth reported the highest levels of perceived support, while GDY identified as either binary or nonbinary experienced the lowest support.
- The findings highlight the need for more research and targeted interventions to enhance support for GDY, particularly in rural areas where their perceptions of support may differ.
Background: Parents of children with cancer must learn and retain crucial information necessary to provide safe care for their child. Smartphone applications (apps) provide a significant opportunity to meet the informational needs of these parents. We aimed to develop, refine, and evaluate a smartphone app, informed by the Children's Oncology Group (COG) expert consensus recommendations, to support the informational needs of parents of children with cancer.

The Children's Oncology Group (COG) developed expert consensus recommendations to guide new diagnosis education; however, these recommendations have not been empirically tested. We used a sequential two-cohort study design to test a nurse-led Structured Discharge Teaching Intervention (SDTI) that operationalizes the COG expert recommendations in the setting of a tertiary children's hospital.

Unfortunately, central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSIs) result in significant morbidity and mortality, and the cost and increased length of stay burden the healthcare system. Previous studies have demonstrated that standardized care bundles can decrease CLABSI rates, but achieving sustained improvement has proven difficult.
