Healthy Kids Beyond the Bell: Investigating the Impact of After-School and Summer Programs
Nearly one in five children are obese, and disparities in overweight and obesity between children from low- and middle-to-high-income households persist despite a multitude of school-based interventions. The structured days hypothesis posits that structure within a school day plays a protective role for children against obesogenic behaviors, and, ultimately, prevents …
Determining the Optimal Amount of Structured Environments for Healthy Kids
Studies show that virtually all increases in children's (5-12yrs) BMI occur during the summer, no matter children's' weight status (i.e., normal weight, overweight, or obese) at summer entry. Recent preliminary studies show that children engage in healthier behaviors on days that they attend summer day camps, and that BMI gain …
Evaluation of Band-Loop Space Maintainers Produced With Three-Dimensional Printer and Conventional Technique
Our research is planned as a randomised clinical trial. The main aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical success of band and loop space maintainers produced by three-dimensional printer and conventional technique and the changes they cause in periodontal tissues.
Hospital-to-Home Transitional Care Interventions (H2H-TCI) Children/Youth With Special Health Care Needs (CYSHCN)
Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of focused dose vs extended dose hospital-to-home Transitional Care Interventions (H2H-TCI) on health service use and parent-reported confidence for hospitalized CYSHCN. Aim 2: Compare the effectiveness of focused and extended dose H2H-TCI among vulnerable CYSHCN subgroups. Hypothesis: Both H2H-TCI arms will improve primary outcomes more …
The P-KIDs CARE Health Systems Intervention in Tanzania
The objective of the proposed research is to develop and pilot a locally-relevant, multicomponent intervention to streamline the triage process (e.g. patient assessment, stabilization, and disposition) for pediatric injury patients in Tanzania. This health systems intervention will work at the first level of medical contact (e.g., health center and district …

Mobile Video Directly Observed Therapy (DOT) for Immunosuppression Medication Adherence in Adolescent Heart Transplant Recipients
We will conduct a two-group randomized controlled trial to examine the eMocha DOT intervention with pediatric HT recipients.In this population, medication nonadherence remains a primary cause of late acute rejection (LAR) episodes, increased number of hospitalizations, graft failure, and patient mortality. Herein, we propose an innovative approach to promote medication …
Outcomes and Health Care Resource Utilization in Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Patients Undergoing Non-Cardiac Procedures
The incidence of moderate to severe congenital heart disease (CHD) in the United States is estimated to be 6 per 1000 live-born full term infants. Recent advances in pediatric cardiology, surgery and critical care have significantly improved the survival rates of patients with CHD leading to an increase in prevalence …
Integrating Pediatric Pharmacogenomic Testing Into the Canadian Health Care System
This project addresses the problem of adverse drug reactions in the three most frequently prescribed therapeutic classes of drugs in children: antibiotics, analgesics, and mental health medications. We will conduct pilot testing of a pharmacogenomic testing panel and study how the tests and generated test results are utilized and understood …
