Parent Race and Communication During Elective Pediatric Surgery Consultations
In this study, parent race was associated with differences in clinician, parent, and interactive visit communication, although some differences appeared to be mediated by sociodemographic factors and most were due to differences in parent rather than clinician communication. These findings suggest that application of patient-centered communication and engagement strategies may help bridge social distance in pediatric surgical care.
