A study protocol testing the implementation, efficacy, and cost effectiveness of the ezParent program in pediatric primary care.
The purpose of this paper is to describe the study protocol evaluating the implementation, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of implementing the tablet-based ezParent program in pediatric primary care settings. Data on parenting and child behavior outcomes will be obtained at baseline, and at 3, 6, and 12 months post baseline. The authors suggest that the implementation of the ezParent is an innovative opportunity to promote positive parenting with potential for universal access to the preschool population and for low cost by building on existing infrastructure in pediatric primary care settings.

Identifying unmet informational needs in the inpatient setting to increase patient and caregiver engagement in the context of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
The researchers conducted field observations and semi-structured interviews of pediatric hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) caregivers and patients to identify informational challenges in the inpatient hospital setting. Theyn concluded that pediatric HSCT caregivers and patients have multiple informational needs that could be met with a health information technology system that integrates data from several sources, including electronic health records. Meeting these needs could reduce patients' and caregivers' anxiety surrounding the care process.
