2 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Liquid medication administration errors are common, and place children at risk for adverse events. Caregivers with low socioeconomic status (SES), low education and poor health literacy skills are at increased risk for errors. In this study, we seek to assess whether at-risk parents who received a plain language, pictogram-based intervention would have reduced medication dosing errors and improved medication adherence.
Research shows that well-developed icons and other pictorials aid in the comprehension of medication information and are effective in improving patients' medication management. This experimental study seeks to test the effect of icons and structured medication information on subjects' processing and recall of simulated medication instructions in a computer testing environment. The study planned to enroll 200 subjects.
