Parent and Clinician Perspectives on Diagnostic Testing for Children With Diarrhea
This qualitative study identified both similarities and tensions between parents and clinicians in expectations for pediatric diarrhea care, especially pertaining to the role of diagnostics. The findings suggest that strategies such as the use of ECDSTs are needed to resolve tension in care expectations, facilitate diagnostic stewardship, and optimize care for pediatric diarrhea.
