Objectives: To explore parental perspectives regarding disclosure of child and parental adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and family unmet social needs (USN) and to elicit parental recommendations for screening in the pediatric medical home.
Methods: We conducted a qualitative study using a purposive sample of English- and Spanish-speaking parents in our urban academic community clinic. Between January 2018 and March 2019, each parent underwent one semistructured interview that was audiotaped, transcribed, and independently coded in Atlas.
Objectives: To explore the concordance between software, chart reviewer, provider, and parent perspectives when assessing whether readmissions are preventable or clinically related to the initial admission.
Methods: Providers and parents of patients readmitted within 3 days to a tertiary children's hospital were enrolled in this single-site observational study. 3M Potentially Preventable Readmissions Grouping Software, chart reviewers, discharge and readmission providers, and parents assessed if readmissions were clinically related to the index admission or potentially preventable.
Objectives: Among pediatric 30-day readmissions, 20% to 30% are preventable, and ∼25% are within 3 days of discharge. We investigated the preventability, contributing factors, and necessity of 3-day pediatric readmissions.
Methods: We enrolled patients who were readmitted within 3 days at a freestanding tertiary children's hospital in this single-site observational study from July 2016 to February 2017.
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of and demographic characteristics associated with toxic stress risk factors by universal screening, the impact of screening on referral rates to community resources, and the feasibility and acceptability of screening in a medical home setting.
Study Design: We developed the Addressing Social Key Questions for Health Questionnaire, a 13-question screen of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and unmet social needs. Parents/guardians of children 0-17 years of age received this questionnaire at well-child visits at 4 academic clinics from August 1, 2016 to February 28, 2017.
Background And Objectives: Despite recommendations supporting human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination, pediatric vaccination rates remain suboptimal in the United States; lack of tools to support provider counseling is one barrier. We sought to evaluate HPV-related counseling materials for readability, suitability, and content, and assess parent perceptions of materials, using a health literacy perspective.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted for written materials developed for HPV vaccination counseling by examining state Department of Health Web sites and associated links to local and national organizations.
Article Synopsis
- The CERTS program, led by Northwestern University, was created to enhance the capacity of community-academic research teams in conducting community-engaged research (CEnR) and preparing federal grant proposals.
- Monthly workshops helped teams improve their NIH-style proposal writing, while draft reviews created a collaborative learning environment that fostered equal partnerships among members.
- The program highlighted areas where teams needed more support, such as experience with principal investigator roles, publication of study results, and overall institutional resources for securing competitive federal grants.
Objective: Assess accuracy of caregiver understanding of children's prescribed medications and examine factors associated with accurate recall.
Methods: Cross-sectional, observational study of English- or Spanish-speaking caregivers of primary care patients aged 0-7 years. Child and visit characteristics and caregiver health literacy (short test of health literacy in adults) were assessed.
Objective: To describe pediatricians' self-reported experiences with health literacy, use of basic and enhanced communication techniques, and perceived barriers to effective communication during office visits.
Design/methods: A national, random sample of 1605 nonretired, posttraining American Academy of Pediatrics members were surveyed in 2007 about health literacy and patient communication as part of the Periodic Survey of Fellows. The response rate was 56% (N = 900).
