Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Determination of Top 10 Child Health Concerns

    Ranking of Top Child Health Concerns by Parents and Paediatricians, which will obtained by asking both groups to state on a 4-point Likert scale on how they rate the significance of each of 30 child health concerns. 4 categorical ordinal responses from better to worse; Not a problem, small problem, moderate problem and large problem. These rankings will be analysed with weighted values assigned (0, 1, 2, 3). There is an option for I don't know. This will enable determination of top 10 child health concerns

    12 Months

  • Adequacy of NHS perceptions

    Parents and Paediatricians are asked to decide if they think the NHS is adequately addressing adolescent and child health issues, on a 5-point Likert scale rating agreement with the statement. 5 categorical ordinal responses from better to worse; Strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, strongly disagree. These rankings will be recoded in analysis as 'Disagree' (Strongly disagree, disagree) and 'Do not disagree' (Neutral, agree, strongly agree).

    12 Months

  • Determination of Top 3 information sources for parents and paediatricians

    Parents and Paediatricians are asked to list their top three information sources, and these will be analysed to determine the three most common sources of information for each group.
