Comparing how families make decisions in telehealth versus in-person visits for children with chronic conditions
Comparing Family Decision Making Engagement in Telehealth versus In-person Primary Care for Children with Chronic Conditions
This study looks at how using telehealth for kids with chronic conditions, like asthma and ADHD, changes the way families make healthcare decisions compared to regular in-person visits, especially for those in underserved urban areas.

What this research studies
This research investigates how telehealth affects family decision-making in pediatric primary care compared to traditional in-person visits. It focuses on children with chronic conditions, such as asthma and ADHD, particularly in underserved urban populations. By analyzing the communication dynamics and engagement levels during healthcare interactions, the study aims to understand how these factors influence shared decision-making and health outcomes. The research will involve families participating in both telehealth and in-person visits to gather insights on their experiences and preferences.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are families with children diagnosed with chronic conditions like asthma or ADHD, particularly those from underserved urban areas.
Not a fit: Patients without chronic conditions or those not engaged in pediatric primary care may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved decision-making processes and health outcomes for children with chronic conditions in pediatric care.
How similar studies have performed: Other research has shown promising results in telehealth applications, particularly in improving access to care, but this specific comparison in pediatric decision-making is relatively novel.
