The National Survey of Children's
Health (NSCH) is the largest, nationally representative survey
conducted with families to assess the health, well-being and
health care of children and youth (n = 102,000). Publicly
released in 2005, NSCH provides a wide range of national and
state-level data on the health of children, youth and
families. Participants will: 1) identify research topics that
can be addressed using the NSCH; 2) Obtain hands-on experience
using the Data Resource Center—a new resource to easily
obtain and download findings from the NSCH; 3) gt ideas on
using findings to stimulate efforts to improve care for
children, inform research and grant development and advance
evidence-based policy, program development, and advocacy.
Objectives:
– Identify the range of
research topics that can be addressed using these data.
– Obtain hands-on experience using the Data Resource Center
on Child and Adolescent Health (DRC)—a new resource for
pediatric clinicians, researchers, and families to easily
obtain and download findings from the NSCH (www.childhealthdata.org).
– Get ideas on presenting findings to enhance state and
local efforts to improve the health and health care of
children, youth, and families.

2402—Dollars and Sense: How To Understand
(or Undertake) Cost-Effectiveness Analysis in Pediatrics
PAS Educational Workshop
Golden Gate Hall B3, SF Marriott
Leader: John Zupancic, Boston, MA; Co-leaders: Jochen Profit, Scott
Lorch
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, senior faculty,
and community practitioners.
The stunning medical progress of
the past three decades has been accompanied by even more rapid
growth in the costs of care. It is essential to understand the
value for money of new technologies, so that limited resources
yield the greatest possible improvements in child health. The
tools of economic evaluation allow us to measure this value
for money, and provide decision support to clinicians and
policy makers. Participants in this workshop will gain an
understanding of the components of a valid economic evaluation
and the critical appraisal skills to determine whether
economic information is reliable.
Objectives:
– Participants will gain an
understanding of the fundamental concepts of economic
evaluation.
– Participants will acquire the skills to critically
appraise published cost-effectiveness studies.
Format: Initial presentation of
fundamental concepts, followed by small group discussion of
published analyses, then large-group planning of a
hypothetical study.
3:15pm–5:15pm
2725—Integrating Genetic Susceptibility and
Environmental Influences in Pediatric Research
PAS Topic Symposium
Room 2008, Moscone West
Chair: Bruce P. Lanphear, Cincinnati Children's Environmental Health
Center, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center,
Cincinnati, OH
Target Audience: A broad
pediatric audience with the goal of promoting
interdisciplinary understanding and greater integration of
genetic and environmental research.
Asthma, preterm birth, ADHD and
other prevalent pediatric conditions are widely recognized to
result from interactions of environmental influences and
genetic susceptibility. Tremendous progress has been made in
measuring both environmental and genetic risk factors.
Increasingly, researchers are moving beyond ecological methods
(e.g., questionnaires, air monitoring) to directly measure in
humans hundreds of environmental chemicals, from nicotine to
metals to DDT and phthalates. Similarly, unprecedented
innovation has led rapidly to high-throughput methods that
assess DNA variation across large cohorts. New
interdisciplinary collaborations that integrate state of the
art approaches to both environmental and genetic influences
should greatly improve our ability to predict and prevent
disease and disability. Such studies will be critical for
understanding mechanistic pathways, defining susceptible
subpopulations and developing effective interventions. This
session will provide an overview of gene–environment
research, describe recent advances in biomarkers of
environmental exposure and review new methods for measuring
genetic variability.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is
a complementary approach to clinical practice that applies the
principles of clinical epidemiology to the traditional skills
of patient care. A longitudinal curriculum is vital in
inculcating this concept in medical students, residents and
fellows.
This workshop will enable
participants to effectively design an EBM curriculum to
trainees. The workshop leaders currently perform this activity
in a large residency program of about 100 residents. The
logistics of ensuring that all residents are exposed to the
spectrum of EBM, given their other responsibilities, will be
explained. Means of incorporating continual feedback in the
curriculum to achieve best clinical practices will also be
demonstrated.
Objectives:
– Ability to develop formal
clinical questions based on patient encounters
– Ability to develop skills in finding evidence based
medical literature
– Ability to explain the EBM process to peers and trainees
– Acquire the operational skills necessary to
institute/improve an EBM curriculum
Format: (1) Interactive
Discussion, (2) hands-on, real-time demonstration of
literature search strategies using Personal Digital Assistants
(PDA), and (3) problem solving, applying common clinical
vignettes.

3700—Developing Valid and Relevant Outcome
Measures for Pediatric Emergency Medicine
PAS Topic Symposium
Room 2008, Moscone West
Chairs: Evaline A. Alessandrini, The Children's Hospital of
Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA; and Marc H. Gorelick,
Children's Hospital of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, WI
Target Audience: Pediatric and
general emergency medicine physicians and/or any health care
professional or researcher interested in outcomes and quality
improvement.
To improve quality, the Institute
of Medicine (IOM) proposes that health care be safe,
effective, patient-centered, timely, efficient and equitable.
Research using important and relevant outcome measures can
distinguish differences in quality of care between health
practitioners, settings and patient populations, including
factors such as race/ethnicity or socioeconomic status.
Defining and accurately measuring outcomes are vital to both
clinical research and practice. Yet valid and relevant outcome
measures that are applicable to all children receiving
emergency care have not been developed or agreed upon.
Features of important clinical outcomes include credibility,
comprehensiveness, sensitivity, accuracy, biologic sensibility
and feasibility. This session will review general (as opposed
to condition-specific) outcome measures for use in pediatric
emergency medicine, focusing on strengths and weaknesses as
well as their relationship to the IOM quality domains.
Speakers will discuss outcome and process measures such as
health-related quality of life; satisfaction, confidence and
trust in health care; mortality; admission rates; emergency
department recidivism; length of stay; and costs. A discussion
and question-and-answer period will end the session.

Yerba Buena Gardens Salon 12, SF Marriott
Leader: Thomas Newman, San Francisco, CA; Co-leader: Susan Fisher-Owens
Target Audience: Trainees,
fellows, junior faculty, mid-level faculty, and community
practitioners.
This workshop uses multiple real
examples from the pediatric literature to teach participants
how to be more discriminating consumers of statistics. Topics
to be covered include standard deviation vs. standard error of
the mean, commonly violated assumptions of statistical tests
including normality and independent sampling, between- vs.
within-groups comparisons, "type 3" (dumb or
careless) errors, odds ratios vs. relative risks, relative vs.
absolute effect sizes, effect size exaggeration, and multiple
comparisons. In the last part of the seminar, participants
will have the opportunity to test what they have learned on a
set of "unknown" examples.
Objectives:
– Choose the correct
statistical test.
– Recognize common errors in biostatistics.
– Avoid common errors in biostatistics.
Format: Case-based
question-and-answer period.

5415—Reducing Disparities in Healthcare
Quality: How Much Progress Are We Making?
PAS State of the Art Plenary
Room 3022, Moscone West
Chairs: Denise M. Dougherty, USDHHS Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality, Rockville, MD; and Glenn Flores, Center for the
Advancement of Underserved Children, Medical College of
Wisconsin and Children's Research Institute, Milwaukee, WI
Target Audience: Attendees
serving racially and ethnically diverse families and those
concerned about reducing disparities in children's health care
and health.
The 2002 Institute of Medicine
report, Unequal Treatment, brought national attention to
racial and ethnic disparities in healthcare quality. At the
time, there was almost nothing to report on disparities in
children's healthcare quality.
This session will bring
participants up to date on key disparities in children's
healthcare quality, based on information from the 2005
National Healthcare Disparities Report (NHDR) and other
sources. Selected examples of disparities from the 2004 NHDR
include: African–American children are three times as likely
as white children to be hospitalized for asthma, and Black and
Hispanic children on dialysis are less likely than white
non-Hispanic children to be on a waiting list for a kidney
transplant. Examples of activities under way to reduce
disparities will be presented, including development of a
structured framework for increasing cultural competency in
children's healthcare and efforts to improve care for
vulnerable racial and ethnically diverse child patients using
health information technology strategies. The panel will end
with a presentation on future directions in policy and
research for reducing disparities in children's healthcare.
