We aimed to investigate how implementation of a standardized NAT guideline in a pediatric emergency department (PED) impacted racial and socioeconomic disparities in NAT evaluation.
Results: 1199 patients (541 pre- and 658 post-guideline) were included for analysis.
Background: Recreational equipment sales rose significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study investigated changes in the incidence of pediatric emergency department (PED) visits related to outdoor recreational activities during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted at a large children's hospital with a level 1 trauma center.

The primary objectives were to assess the prevalence and changes in caregiver tobacco use after being screened and counseled by providers using the SFF tool. A secondary objective was to examine providers' AAR behavior facilitated by using the SFF tool.
