What this research studies
This research focuses on understanding and addressing the challenges faced by Black preterm infants diagnosed with chronic lung disease (CLD) and their families. It aims to engage parents in the care process to improve health outcomes by exploring their lived experiences and the social factors affecting their children's health. The study will characterize the medical needs and social determinants impacting these infants and identify those at the highest risk for respiratory issues. By involving a diverse advisory board, including Black parents, the research seeks to create equitable health interventions tailored to this vulnerable population.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are Black preterm infants diagnosed with chronic lung disease and their parents or caregivers.
Not a fit: Patients who are not preterm infants or do not identify as Black may not receive direct benefits from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved health outcomes and reduced disparities for Black preterm infants with chronic lung disease.
How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that patient and family engagement can significantly improve health outcomes, particularly in pediatric populations, suggesting a promising approach in this context.
