Prevalence and Characterization of Food Insecurity Among Pediatric Emergency Department Visits

Dr. Ellie MacBain, PGY2

Supervisor: Dr. Quang Ngo

Food insecurity is common and associated with numerous effects on child health and development. Identification of households affected by food insecurity is important to develop interventions. We have developed a screening survey to gather information on the prevalence of food insecurity and potential associated demographic and health information to be distributed to families of pediatric patients attending the ED at McMaster Children’s and Hamilton General Hospital.

Objectives:

  1. Become familiar with national trends and health effects of food insecurity
  2. Learn about neighbourhood – level health inequalities in Hamilton
  3. Discuss ethical and inclusion challenges of research involving vulnerable populations

Bedside Rounds and Perception of Teaching

Dr. Rasika Singh, PGY2

Supervisors: Drs. Quang Ngo & Robin Mackin

This research project aims to evaluate a novel teaching tool used during bedside rounding and its effect on learners’ perception of teaching during family-centered rounds while on the Pediatric CTU at McMaster Children’s Hospital. Today’s presentation will review the rationale and proposed methodology for completing the research project. The aim is to seek input and guidance regarding survey development and administration.

Objectives:

  1. To review the rationale and proposed methodology for the research project.
  2. To provide input and guidance regarding survey development and administration.
