However, lack of domain-specific expertise and known errors in large language models raise concerns about the widespread adoption of content generated by these tools for parents making healthcare decisions for their children. The aim of this study is to determine if health-related text generated by ChatGPT under the supervision of an expert is comparable to that generated by an expert regarding persuasiveness and credibility from the perspective of a parent.METHODSIn a cross-sectional study 116 parents aged 18-65 years (M = 45.02, SD = 10.92) were asked to complete a baseline assessment of their behavioral intentions regarding pediatric healthcare topics. Subsequently, participants were asked to rate text generated by either an expert or by ChatGPT under supervision of an expert.RESULTSResults indicate that prompt engineered ChatGPT is capable of impacting behavioral intentions for medication, sleep, and diet decision-making. Additionally, there was little distinction between prompt engineered ChatGPT and content experts on perceived morality, trustworthiness, expertise, accuracy, and reliance. Notably, when differences were present, prompt engineered ChatGPT was rated as higher in trustworthiness and accuracy, and participants indicated they would be more likely to rely on the information presented by prompt engineered ChatGPT compared to the expert.DISCUSSIONGiven that parents will trust and rely on information generated by ChatGPT, it is critically important that human domain-specific expertise be applied to healthcare information that will ultimately be presented to consumers (e.g., parents).","PeriodicalId":48372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Psychology","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142260184","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This pilot study investigated the acceptability and feasibility of a novel, health behavior-, and technology-adapted BMT (LEAP) vs. standard BMT. Methods The weekly 9-session LEAP telemedicine group program is based on a standard BMT curriculum enhanced with strategies for supporting optimal child sleep, problematic media use (PMU), and physical activity, including wrist-worn activity trackers. Children ages 6–10 years with ADHD and their caregivers were randomized to LEAP or standard BMT. Acceptability and feasibility were tracked. Caregivers completed standardized measures, and children wore hip-worn accelerometers for 1 week at baseline, postintervention (10 weeks), and follow-up (20 weeks). Results 84 parent/child dyads were randomized to LEAP or standard BMT, with high and comparable acceptability and feasibility.

Institutions have invested in the integrated primary care (IPC) treatment model with the goal of improving treatment access and promoting child mental health equity.OBJECTIVEThis study compared treatment attendance in an outpatient psychiatry clinic (OPC) versus an IPC clinic to assess whether the IPC was associated with reduced disparities in access to care and treatment retention.METHODSThis study assessed whether there were differences in who is connected to care from the intake appointment to first follow-up appointment.RESULTSResults showed that the IPC clinic served a more diverse patient population than the OPC clinic in terms of SES, race, and ethnicity. Differences in treatment attendance in the IPC and OPC were also found. After controlling for race, ethnicity, insurance, and distance from patient's home zip code to clinic, the IPC treatment setting was associated with poorer intake and follow-up appointment attendance.CONCLUSIONSThe IPC model may be more accessible to historically underserved youth, but the treatment setting does not inherently eliminate disparities in child mental health treatment retention. Replication of this study has the potential to contribute to the external validity of study findings, improve quality assurance policies, and develop equitable workflow policies. Future research is needed to identify factors that can improve treatment attendance for populations who face greater retention barriers and to shine light on ways that healthcare systems may inadvertently maintain disparity in treatment retention.","PeriodicalId":48372,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Pediatric Psychology","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142196366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
