ObjectiveThe impact of household language on Latino-White and Latino intragroup disparities in child health and having a medical home in the United States is poorly understood. This study aimed to examine these disparities 1) between Whites and Latinos (overall and stratified by English-primary-language [EPL] and non-English-primary-language [NEPL] households); 2) within Latinos, stratified by household language; and 3) potential moderation of disparities by social determinants.MethodsCross-sectional analysis of nationally representative sample of children 0 to 17 years old from the 2016–2018 National Survey of Children's Health. We evaluated associations of child race/ethnicity and household language with child health and presence of a medical home. Multivariable logistic regression was used to compare groups of interest, adjusting for sociodemographic factors and health needs. Moderation was assessed using interaction terms for household income, parental educational attainment, and child insurance coverage.ResultsAmong 81,514 children, 13.5% were NEPL Latino, and 19.4% were EPL Latino. Compared with EPL Whites, both EPL and NEPL Latinos had reduced odds of excellent/very good health (adjusted odds ratio [aOR]: 0.70; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.58–0.84; and aOR: 0.42; 95% CI: 0.33–0.53) and presence of a medical home (aOR: 0.62; 95% CI: 0.56–0.69; and aOR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.37–0.54), respectively. Among Latinos, NEPL (vs EPL) was also associated with reduced odds of excellent/very good health (aOR: 0.61; 95% CI: 0.46–0.83), and presence of a medical home (aOR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.48–0.78); these associations were magnified by adverse social determinants.ConclusionsStriking Latino-White and within-Latino medical-home disparities persist in the United States, particularly for NEPL Latino children. Interventions should target social determinants and the rich sociocultural and linguistic diversity of the Latino population. 相似文献

Children with complex care and technology needs require daily, intensive care from family caregivers. These children are understudied, particularly in relation to the social determinants of health (SDOH) that affect their health, well-being, and quality of life. This paper examines the salient research on SDOH among this population, focusing on the Healthy People 2030 domains. Gaps in the research are identified and recommendations for future research, practice, policy, and education are presented. Pediatric nurses, advanced practice nurses, and other health care provider teams that care for these children and families can improve their health by examining and addressing SDOH. 相似文献

Objective
The 5.1million US children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have pronounced needs in education, occupational and speech therapy, and medical and behavioral treatments. Given known associations of ADHD diagnosis with race/ethnicity and parent education, this study aimed to assess how measures of socioeconomic status correlate with both adverse family financial impact of ADHD and disparities in unmet treatment need for ADHD.Methods
Secondary analysis of children ages 8 to 17years whose households participated in the 2014 National Survey of the Diagnosis and Treatment of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder and Tourette Syndrome. Using bivariate testing, we examined associations among measures of socioeconomic status with unmet ADHD treatment need and family financial impact. Logistic regression models estimated the odds of having unmet treatment need, adjusting for demographic factors and family financial impact.Results
Among US school-aged children with a current ADHD diagnosis, 44.3% experienced an adverse family financial impact from ADHD, and 11.6% had unmet need for ADHD treatment. Children with younger age at first ADHD diagnosis were more likely to experience adverse family financial impact. Children from non-English-speaking households were less likely to report unmet need compared to those from primarily English-speaking households. The adjusted odds of unmet need were twice as great among those who reported adverse family financial impact.Conclusion
Deeper understanding of the influence of the household language is important in ADHD needs assessments. Considering overall family financial circumstances may also be pertinent, particularly as children age, because earlier diagnosiswas associated with adverse financial outcomes. These findings could shape future clinic policies for targeting community resources. 相似文献5.

Objective
The number of pediatric Global Health (GH) tracks has more than doubled in less than 10 years. The goal of this study was to describe the characteristics of the pediatric GH tracks to identify commonalities and differences in track structure, funding, and education. In addition, we also identified demographic, institutional, and residency-related factors that were significantly associated with educational offerings and logistical challenges.Methods
A cross-sectional survey was electronically administered to pediatric residency programs with GH tracks. Statistical analyses included frequencies to describe GH track characteristics. Fisher's exact tests were used to identify bivariate associations between track structure and funding with educational offerings and logistical challenges.Results
Leaders of 32 pediatric GH tracks (67%) completed the survey. The majority of GH tracks were completed within the 3 years of residency (94%) and identified a GH track director (100%); however, tracks varied in size, enrollment methods, domestic and international partnerships, funding, and evaluations. Dedicated faculty time and GH track budget amounts were associated with more robust infrastructure pertaining to resident international electives, including funding and mentorship. Many tracks did not meet American Academy of Pediatrics recommended standards for clinical international rotations.Conclusions
Despite the presence of multiple similarities among pediatric GH tracks, there are large variations in track structure, education, and funding. The results from this study support the proposal of a formal definition and minimum standards for a GH track, which may provide a framework for quality, consistency, and comparison of GH tracks. 相似文献10.

ObjectiveTo identify community resource needs among families presenting to a pediatric emergency department (PED).MethodsA convenience sample of English- and Spanish-speaking caregivers residing in Los Angeles County who presented to the PED of a large urban children's hospital were surveyed. The needs assessment survey assessed demographics, food insecurity, and previous and anticipated need for 12 common community resources.ResultsOf 768 caregivers who completed the survey, 75% identified as Hispanic/Latinx. Across all survey participants, 83% used at least 1 resource in the past, and 67% anticipated needing at least 1 resource in the next 12 months. Low-cost/free health clinics were the most common resources used in the past and needed for the future. Caregivers with younger children tended to need baby formula/breastfeeding and women's health resources, whereas caregivers with older children tended to need safe housing, subsidized utilities, and counseling/therapy. Many families who needed resources in the past and for the future resided south of the children's hospital where median household income was relatively lower than in other areas of the county. A pattern of heightened use emerged among caregivers who primarily spoke Spanish. On average, caregivers reported feeling comfortable approaching hospital staff about community resources.ConclusionsWe found significant needs for community resources among families who presented to an urban PED. Needs were particularly salient among Spanish-speaking families and families living in close proximity to the children's hospital. Findings from this study help to inform future work connecting families to community resources. 相似文献

Paternal involvement in children's lives is associated with a variety of child outcomes, including improved cognition, improved mental health, reduced obesity rates, and asthma exacerbation. Given this evidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics has promoted actions by pediatricians to engage fathers in pediatric care. Despite these recommendations, the mother–child dyad, rather than the mother–father–child triad, remains a frequent focus of care. Furthermore, pediatric care is often leveraged to improve maternal health, such as screening for maternal depression, but paternal health is infrequently addressed even as men tend to exhibit riskier behaviors, poorer primary care utilization, and lower life expectancy. Therefore, increasing efforts by pediatric clinicians to engage fathers may affect the health of both father and child. These efforts to engage fathers are informed by currently used definitions and measures of father involvement, which are discussed here. Factors described in the literature that affect father involvement are also summarized, including culture and context; interpersonal factors; logistics; knowledge and self-efficacy; and attitudes, beliefs, and incentives. Innovative ways to reach fathers both in the clinic and in other settings are currently under investigation, including use of behavior change models, motivational interviewing, mobile technologies, peer support groups, and policy advocacy efforts. These modalities show promise in effectively engaging fathers and improving family health. 相似文献

Paediatricians witness the social determinants of health in action in their clinical practice every day. By pushing hundreds of thousands of children into poverty, the global coronavirus pandemic has only made the link between social justice and health inequalities in the UK clearer and more relevant than ever. Yet paediatricians face a glaring dearth of opportunities to meaningfully engage with the issue, and lack the resources with which to learn what can be done about it. Using real-life examples from the author's own professional experience, this article demonstrates how ordinary paediatricians can apply a theoretical framework to clinical practice to move from why paediatricians ought to orient their practice towards the social determinants of health, to how. Rather than waiting for institutions to lead the way, this article provides ‘rules for radicals’ and makes a call for bottom-up, grassroots organizing around social justice and developing the knowledge and tools to fight it, including the exciting new initiatives of the ‘social tool kit’ and the ‘social incubator’. 相似文献

Objective
Medical providers struggle when communicating with angry patients and their caregivers. Pediatric residents perceive communication competencies as an important priority for learning, yet they lack confidence and desire more training in communicating with angry families. Few curricula exist to support trainees with de-escalation skill development. We developed, implemented, and evaluated the impact of a novel de-escalation curriculum on pediatric resident communication skills.Methods
We conducted a randomized controlled trial of a 90-minute de-escalation curriculum for pediatric residents from August to September 2016. Trained standardized patient (SP) actors rated residents’ communication skills following 2 unique encounters before and after the intervention or control sessions. Residents completed a retrospective pre/post communication skills self-assessment and curriculum evaluation. We used independent and paired t-tests to assess for communication improvements.Results
Eighty-four of 88 (95%) eligible residents participated (43 intervention, 41 control). Residents reported frequent encounters with angry caregivers. At baseline, interns had significantly lower mean SP-rated de-escalation skills than other residents (P?=?.03). Intervention residents did not improve significantly more than controls on their pre/post change in mean SP-rated de-escalation skills; however, intervention residents improved significantly on their pre/post mean self-assessed de-escalation skills (P ≤ .03).Conclusions
Despite significant self-assessed improvements, residents’ SP-rated de-escalation skills did not improve following a skills-based intervention. Nevertheless, our study illustrates the need for de-escalation curricula focused on strategies and peer discussion, suggests optimal timing of delivery during fall of intern year, and offers an assessment tool for exploration in future studies. 相似文献18.

Evidence of health disparities affecting newborns abounds. Although quality improvement (QI) methodology is often suggested as a tool to advance health equity, the impact of QI initiatives on disparities is variable. QI work may mitigate, worsen, or perpetuate existing disparities. QI projects designed without an intentional focus on equity promotion may foster intervention-generated inequalities that further disadvantage vulnerable groups. This article reviews disparities in perinatal and neonatal care, the impact of QI on health disparities, and the concept of “Equity-Focused Quality Improvement” (EF-QI). EF-QI differs from QI with an equity lens in that it is action-oriented and centered around equity. EF-QI initiatives purposely integrate equity throughout the fabric of the project and are inclusive, collaborative efforts that foreground and address the needs of disadvantaged populations. EF-QI principles are applicable at every stage of project conception, execution, analysis, and dissemination, and may provide opportunities for reducing disparities in neonatal care. 相似文献
