Intervention Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients randomized to the intervention group of the RCT will be given tablet-based education. The first clinic follow-up visit will consist of screening for consent, providing a QR code for Orthokids, and conducting the pre-intervention questionnaire. The pre-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to demographics and orthopedic knowledge. The second clinic follow-up visit will be provided with the tablet for repeat education, with Orthokids and the post-intervention questionnaire will be distributed. The post-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to orthopedic knowledge and satisfaction with care.

Behavioral: Tablet-based educational intervention

Control Group

NO INTERVENTION

Patients randomized to the control group of the RCT will receive the standard clinic experience. This group will not be exposed to any education enrichment about their child's fracture except for the physician's explanation within the exam room. The first clinic follow-up visit will consist of screening for consent and conducting the pre-intervention questionnaire. The pre-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to demographics and orthopedic knowledge. The second clinic follow-up visit will consist of conducting the post-intervention questionnaire. The post-intervention questionnaire has two sections with questions pertaining to orthopedic knowledge and satisfaction with care.

Interventions

Tablet-based educational intervention BEHAVIORAL

POSNA's Orthokids website and the article on pediatric forearm fracture will be provided on a tablet. The article provided has two separate tabs, labeled "Condition" and "FAQs", that caregivers will be able to read through. Those who speak Spanish will have the Spanish translated version of Orthokids.
