Study Background
Researchers at the University of Kansas are leading multiple pediatric health studies that aim to enhance the quality of life of youth and their families
This research project is part of a long-term effort to create a community dedicated to understanding various aspects of pediatric health. Topics covered in the study include healthcare, artificial intelligence, social media, sleep, mobile phones, diet, physical activity, and family functioning. By developing strong relationships with participants, we aim to gather valuable insights and contribute to advancing healthcare for children and families. Our goal is to engage a community of people who want to make a meaningful impact by sharing their experiences and ideas on these important topics.
The findings from this study will help us provide personalized insights to community members and share how their answers compare to others. Additionally, participants will receive compensation for their time. The information gathered will support our ongoing efforts to improve pediatric health and ultimately help guide future treatments and interventions for children and families.
