Postpartum depression (PPD) affects approximately 10-15% of women and can have serious negative effects on mothers, infants, and families.

Pediatric providers have consistent interactions with mothers and infants during well-child visits. During this evidence …

Communication in the form of reminders to parents, guardians, and patients over the age of 18 may have the potential to increase rates of follow-up appointments after an urgent care visit. Short Message Service (SMS) text messages have been shown to be an effective means of communication between providers and patients in multiple types of healthcare settings. The …

Asthma symptoms and exacerbations are also the number one reason for school absences among children. The PICOT question that guided the review of the literature to answer the clinical question was: In children with asthma, how does a school-based self-management asthma education program compared to standard management affect school absences and …
