Understanding how to involve acutely ill children in research
ADaPT to Engage: Assessing for Disparities and Potential Targets for Intervention to Engage Acutely Ill Children in Research
This study is looking at how we can get more children who are seriously ill, especially those from different backgrounds, to take part in emergency and critical care research, so we can better understand their needs and improve their care.

What this research studies
This research investigates the participation of acutely ill children, particularly those at risk for health disparities, in pediatric emergency and critical care research. It aims to identify the factors that influence their enrollment in studies, focusing on both barriers and facilitators to participation. By employing a mixed-methods approach, the research will gather data to better understand the disparities in research enrollment and how to address them effectively. The ultimate goal is to enhance the representation of diverse pediatric populations in clinical research.
Who could benefit from this research
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are acutely ill children aged 0-11 years who are at risk for health disparities.
Not a fit: Patients who are not acutely ill or those outside the age range of 0-11 years may not benefit from this research.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved representation of acutely ill children in clinical studies, ensuring that their unique health needs are addressed.
How similar studies have performed: While there is ongoing research in this area, the specific focus on disparities in pediatric emergency research enrollment is relatively novel.
