Summary

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.

Objectives

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:
I. 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 20 minutes at baseline. Family behaviors before, during and after the administration of medication to the child are self-recorder or research video-recorded over 40-45 minutes. Participants receive medication event monitoring system (MEMS) electronic pill bottle to use for 5 weeks and complete daily survey over 5 minutes for 21 days.

**Clinical trials are research studies that involve people. These studies test new ways to prevent, detect, diagnose, or treat diseases. People who take part in cancer clinical trials have an opportunity to contribute to scientists’ knowledge about cancer and to help in the development of improved cancer treatments. They also receive state-of-the-art care from cancer experts... Click here to learn more about clinical trials.
