Through the Webcam: Impact of Telehealth on Developmental and Behavioral Pediatric Fellowship Training.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine how fellowship program directors (PDs) and their fellows perceived the impact of telehealth on fellowship education in developmental behavioral pediatrics (DBP) during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Methods: Two surveys were designed targeting DBP PDs and fellows and were distributed by e-mail from January to May 2021. Surveys consisted of closed-ended and open-ended questions about telehealth's impact on didactics, clinical teaching, and clinical experience.

Telemedicine for children with developmental disabilities: a more effective clinical process than office-based care.

Background: The literature on the use of telemedicine for children with developmental disabilities (DD) is limited and mostly describes telemedicine being used to link patients with distant subspecialty multidisciplinary care. Parents generally have reported satisfaction with such care and have perceived it to be equally effective as in-person care. Here we report on the use of school-based asynchronous telemedicine to connect children with DD with primary care providers.

Underimmunization in Ohio's Amish: parental fears are a greater obstacle than access to care.

Objective: Holmes County, Ohio, one of the largest Amish communities in the world, has persistently low immunization rates. Studies of other Amish communities have revealed that parents do not immunize their children because of lack of access to immunizations. Our study explored reasons that Amish parents in the previously uninvestigated Holmes County population exempt themselves from immunizations.
