Clinical Trial Summary

This is a randomized controlled study of parents of children to be discharged from the neonatal intensive care unit at Bellevue and Elmhurst hospitals. A total of 425 subjects will be recruited across two sites over preparatory phases and two primary study phases.


Clinical Trial Description

Our overarching goal is to promote safe medication use/adherence for high-risk infants, by leveraging health literacy approaches and mobile technology to reinforce provider counseling and support parent medication management after discharge from the NICU. We will adapt/integrate evidence-based strategies studied in less complex populations, for this vulnerable group. The HELPix (Health Education and Literacy for Parents) pictogram-based intervention, developed by our team, incorporates these strategies, with sizeable improvements found in medication knowledge, dosing errors, and adherence in outpatient general pediatric settings, but to date, HELPix has not been studied in NICU settings ;
