Filter by:A single site, cross-sectional, pilot study of a mHealth application. Primary Objective This purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate mHealth adherence to a developmental application, Babysparks©, by parents of infants with complex congenital cardiac disease and single ventricle heart disease. Secondary Objective(s) -To determine the demographic and infant characteristics that correlate with mHealth adherence. -The rate of developmental progress of milestones while using the application will also be compared between infants with single ventricle cardiac disease and bi-ventricular cardiac disease. Research Intervention(s)/ Investigational Agent(s) Babysparks© developmental application is the main intervention with evaluation on feasibility of the mHealth application in a pediatric cardiology population. Study participants will be parents of infants with single ventricle and bi-ventricular complex congenital heart disease who underwent cardiac surgery in the first six weeks of life and are currently less than 18 months of age. Study Population There are approximately 150 new patients a year who have undergone cardiac surgery, with an additional 150 who are 18 months of age or less. Sample Size A maximum of 400 families/year Study Duration for Individual Participants Study participants will be monitored for a minimum of 6 months with the use of the BabySparks© App; to a maximum of 24 months of use of the app or when the child reaches a developmental age of 24 months, whichever occurs first.

To study the effect of maternal scent on the oral feeding, behavior and stress level of premature infants hospitalized in the Neonatal intensive care unit and to assess its potential effect on their development at 18 to 24 months.
This study was used to determine the relationship between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphism and children's physical and intellectual development, further adjust the doses of vitamin D supplementation after birth, and provide individualized vitamin D and calcium supplements.
This study will examine the impact of clinic-based financial coaching on parent health-related quality of life and child development measures, as well as family social needs for families with young children receiving pediatric care at a primary care practice in the Los Angeles County safety net.
The research study is designed is to determine whether children's acceptance of low sugar snacks, most preferred level of sweet and salty taste, and dietary intake of added sugars changes after repeated exposure to snacks lower in sweetness when compared to the control group.
Poor urban minority children often experience delays in their early development leading to health disparities. Publicly funded early intervention services are available to improve child development among these children in Philadelphia, but few children access and complete these services. This can be due to parents misunderstanding what the services include or may be due to difficulties parents experience in overcoming barriers to participating. This study will test the effectiveness of the Opening Doors to Early Intervention Program, a patient navigation intervention designed to improve families' engagement with early intervention services and overcome barriers to access these services, on early child development.
This is a randomized control trial to evaluate a simple language intervention curriculum that utilizes LENA recordings, linguistic feedback and text-message review of content to improve language environments and outcomes for infants with adolescent mothers.
Evaluation of efficacy of PLEM100(Inbody®) in measuring the sedation level in pediatric patients
The objective of this study to evaluate potential impact of a brief, low-cost primary care-based intervention of parenting self-efficacy, knowledge, and behavior.
The objective of this study is to conduct a 12-month pilot longitudinal study of a parent-directed program delivered in a primary care setting serving primarily low-income families. The parent-direction program will be evaluated in a randomized controlled design to determine the feasibility of protocol implementation and to investigate the potential impact on parental outcomes. Process outcomes will include success with recruitment, participant retention, and ability to collect outcome measures. Clinical outcomes will incorporate measures of parental self-efficacy and parenting behaviors, including observational assessments of parent-child interactions.
