The grant, effective January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2028, aims to gain an understanding of how to best implement social risk screening and referral interventions across all types of pediatric hospitals in the U.S. The...
This Project Grant award of $504,574.44, provided by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) under the Child Health and Human Development Extramural Research program (CFDA 93.865), supports a research project titled "Identifying Contributors to Racial and Ethnic Disparities in Child Occupant Safety."
The project aims to utilize a breadth-to-depth approach that integrates population-level and individual-level analyses to understand where and why racial and ethnic disparities in child occupant safety arise across the crash injury continuum. The K99 phase of the project will leverage innovative methods to analyze state-level data on child restraint system use and identify factors contributing to lower rates of use in minority groups, as well as assess how child, driver, and vehicle characteristics impact racial and ethnic disparities in child occupants' crash injury severity. In the R00 phase, the project will recruit recently crash-injured children and caregivers to participate in a mixed-methods, pilot cohort study to assess short- and long-term mental and physical health outcomes. A sub-award of $545,102 was provided to The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia to support this research.
