Editorial reading guide · Collaboration
What would make treatment options understandable enough for a child to take part in the discussion?
A small feasibility study examines a tool intended to include children in discussions with parents about allergy care.
Who was studied?
Nine parents of children eligible for oral immunotherapy tried a decision aid; four children supplied quality-of-life reports.
Age / stage: Children considering oral immunotherapy
Read with three questions
- Whose experience was measured a week after the aid was provided?
- Which outcomes address feasibility and which would need a larger comparative trial?
- Where in the decision process could the child, the parent and the clinician express different priorities?
Keep the limits in view
Preliminary work is informative about acceptability and delivery. Small or selected samples and limited follow-up restrict conclusions about effectiveness for other families.
