Longitudinal validation of a tool for asthma self-monitoring.
The purpose of this study was to show longitudinal validation of a new tool, the Asthma Symptom Tracker (AST). The study established longitudinal validation of the AST, a novel tool designed for use by children or their parents to facilitate ongoing monitoring of patients’ asthma symptoms and proactive medical decision-making to prevent acute exacerbations.

A mixed methods study of parental vaccine decision making and parent-provider trust.
Given the growing public health problem of parental vaccine hesitancy, researchers investigated parental vaccine decisionmaking through the use of focus groups and a mailed survey. They found that parents had overall trust in their pediatricians but not in the information they provided about vaccines. Parents refusing or delaying vaccines were twice as likely to begin thinking about vaccines before their child was born.
