Insights on pediatric medication initiation: perceptions of caregivers and children
The decision to initiate medication in the pediatric population is multifactorial and influenced by perceptions on the disease and treatment, intrapersonal factors related to the caregivers and children, and interpersonal factors and factors related to the healthcare system and contexts. An informed, shared decision-making process that considers both the participation of children and the needs for support from caregivers when prescribing a treatment could promote initiation in the pediatric population.
