The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities awarded Phoenix Children's Hospital, Inc., $213,448 on July 29, 2026, under the Minority Health and Health Disparities Research program (CFDA 93.307) to develop and test a digital health intervention addressing health disparities in underserved families of young children with spina bifida. The project will employ a community-engaged approach to co-design a parenting digital health intervention (DHI) targeting caregivers of children ages 2.6 to 6 years with spina bifida, with particular focus on low-income and rural families. The work includes three phases: co-designing the intervention with caregiver and healthcare provider advisory boards from the National Spina Bifida Association; conducting rapid-cycle testing with ten families to assess usability, feasibility, acceptability, and proof-of-concept impact on caregiver distress, positive parenting skills, and child developmental outcomes measured immediately and three months post-intervention; and executing a randomized feasibility trial enrolling families into the DHI group or an internet resource comparison group. The award runs through December 31, 2030, with place of performance in Columbus, Ohio. The intervention addresses documented barriers to care for children with complex neurodevelopmental conditions, including reduced healthcare access and low provider knowledge of spina bifida, challenges intensified for Medicaid-insured families in resource-limited areas.
