Award for a project studying social factors and surgeon attitudes affecting communication and outcomes in children with sleep-disordered breathing, aiming to improve communication and reduce disparities.
Description
This project evaluates how social factors and surgeon attitudes influence communication and outcomes in children with obstructive sleep-disordered breathing (OSDB). It involves establishing a repository of audio-recorded clinical encounters, coding communication behaviors, and analyzing the influence of clinician implicit attitudes and patient social factors on communication, trust, decision regret, and clinical outcomes. The goal is to develop interventions to improve communication, reduce disparities, and enhance outcomes.
