Methods: We measured caregivers' greeting preferences and perceptions of how residents, attending physicians, and nurses greeted them by surveying caregivers on 1 unit at a large urban children's hospital from October 2017 to April 2018. The 27-item survey consisted of multiple choice, Likert scale, and demographic measures.
