Abstract

Objective: To explore perceptions, concerns, and enthusiasm from a diverse group of parents regarding early childhood research that involves home monitoring technologies for collecting environmental exposure data.

Study design: A diverse group of new and expecting parents participated in semi-structured interviews. A single interviewer conducted all sessions and introduced a hypothetical longitudinal early childhood research study, which included novel home monitoring approaches: 1) wearable devices, 2) audio monitoring, and 3) environmental sampling. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and coded. Qualitative description guided the study, and a constant comparative approach was used to identify themes from transcripts.

Results: Twenty-four interviews were completed. Emerging themes included 1) Ready and Willing to Participate; 2) Helping Others, Helping Ourselves: Motivation for Participation; 3) Trust and Transparency: Understanding the "What?" and the "Why?"; 4) Data Privacy and Security: "What If It Gets into the Wrong Hands?"; 5) It's a Lot to Juggle: Logistical Realities. Perceptions were similar across racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups. Perceptions were positive, and participants desired additional information about study feasibility and purpose. Many had concerns related to wearable device safety and data privacy; a trusting relationship with the research team was a priority.

Conclusion: Participants had positive sentiments regarding longitudinal observational studies involving pregnancy and infancy yet expressed concerns about safety, privacy, feasibility, and transparency. These findings can inform future early childhood research study design to ensure protocols are transparent, inclusive, and appealing to parents.

研究目的研究设计:研究设计:一群不同的新父母和准父母参加了半结构化访谈。所有访谈均由一位访谈者主持,并介绍了一项假设性纵向幼儿研究,其中包括新颖的家庭监测方法:1) 可穿戴设备;2) 音频监控;3) 环境采样。对访谈进行了录音、转录和编码。研究以定性描述为指导,采用不断比较的方法从记录中确定主题:共完成 24 次访谈。新出现的主题包括:1)准备好并愿意参与;2)帮助他人,帮助自己:3) 信任和透明度:了解 "是什么?"和 "为什么?";4)数据隐私和安全:"如果落入坏人之手怎么办?后勤现实。不同种族、民族和社会经济群体的看法相似。参与者的看法是积极的,他们希望获得更多有关研究可行性和目的的信息。许多人对可穿戴设备的安全性和数据隐私表示担忧;与研究团队建立相互信任的关系是首要任务:参与者对涉及孕期和婴儿期的纵向观察研究持积极态度,但对安全性、隐私、可行性和透明度表示担忧。这些发现可以为未来的幼儿研究设计提供参考,以确保研究方案透明、具有包容性并对家长有吸引力。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Pediatrics is an international peer-reviewed journal that advances pediatric research and serves as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. The Journal publishes original work based on standards of excellence and expert review. The Journal seeks to publish high quality original articles that are immediately applicable to practice (basic science, translational research, evidence-based medicine), brief clinical and laboratory case reports, medical progress, expert commentary, grand rounds, insightful editorials, “classic” physical examinations, and novel insights into clinical and academic pediatric medicine related to every aspect of child health. Published monthly since 1932, The Journal of Pediatrics continues to promote the latest developments in pediatric medicine, child health, policy, and advocacy. Topics covered in The Journal of Pediatrics include, but are not limited to: General Pediatrics Pediatric Subspecialties Adolescent Medicine Allergy and Immunology Cardiology Critical Care Medicine Developmental-Behavioral Medicine Endocrinology Gastroenterology Hematology-Oncology Infectious Diseases Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Nephrology Neurology Emergency Medicine Pulmonology Rheumatology Genetics Ethics Health Service Research Pediatric Hospitalist Medicine.
