About this study

Official title: Behavioral Parenting Skills as a Novel Target for Improving Pediatric Medication Adherence: Studies 1 and 2

This study observes behavioral parenting skills to see whether it could be a novel target for improving pediatric medication adherence. This study may help researchers better understand the challenges parents face when giving their young child with an illness medicine at home and learn about various factors related to medication compliance in young children

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. Use direct observation of medication administration in the home to understand common episode-level barriers and identify the most impactful behavioral parenting skills for intervention.

II. Use daily diary methods to identify contextual barriers to adherence and identify intervention components to help parents anticipate barriers and plan strategies to promote successful adherence.

OUTLINE:

Participants complete a survey over 15-20 minutes at baseline. Family behaviors before, during and after the administration of medication to the child are video-recorded over 40-45 minutes. Participants receive MEMS electronic pill bottle to use for 2 weeks and complete daily survey over 5 minutes for 14 days.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Dyadic Parent-Child Interaction Coding System (DCIPS) - medication ingestion

    Association between ingestion of medication and the absence or presence of each of the Observations of parents and children as they interact with each other during medication administration. Interactions will be coded by trained observers.

    Measured: Up to 5 months

  2. Length of time it takes to administer medication

    The association between time to ingestion and the DCIPS coded skills will be analyzed

    Measured: Up to 5 months
