‘Pre-travel health preparation in primary care general paediatrics compared to paediatric travel medicine’

Pre-travel healthcare in primary care paediatrics remains understudied. Among 629 children receiving pre-travel healthcare, general paediatricians reached more younger, publicly-insured, and visiting friends and relatives travellers, but provided less recommended antimalarial prophylaxis and counselling than travel medicine. Findings highlight need for travel medicine training for paediatricians and equitable access to travel medicine specialists.
