Which barriers could affect a family's sense that its preferences were heard?
Researchers compare parents' reported participation in care decisions across immigration backgrounds. The parent-reported experience is the outcome of interest.
Who was studied?
27,082 parent respondents in the 2021–2022 U.S. National Survey of Children's Health.
Age / stage: U.S. children receiving health care
Read with three questions
- What aspects of a clinical conversation can a national survey capture?
- Which measures came from the same participant, and which had an independent source?
- Where in the decision process could the child, the parent and the clinician express different priorities?
Keep the limits in view
A cross-sectional account measures variables in the same period. It cannot establish which came first; participants reporting more than one measure may also introduce shared reporting bias.
