Really proud to finally have the #RCT I did as a #PHMfellow at @VUMCChildrenPHM published in @JAMANetworkOpen. We found that a 5 minute hospital discharge communication intervention including teach-back and show-back significantly reduced liquid medication dosing errors for kids

Excited to share our paper ⬇️ using a pharmacoepidemiologic approach to look at polypharmacy rates in kids with #obesity.
Kids w #obesity had ⬆️ polypharm compared to those without obesity, esp asthma and psych meds!

Children with documented obesity have higher polypharmacy prevalence than children without obesity. Clinicians must be aware of this risk and minimize inappropriate polypharmacy whenever possible. buff.ly/3vtJTjq @accppediprn

These tragedies are too common in our communities, but they are preventable. I chatted with @NC5 about what parents can do to keep kids safe
➡️Secure all firearms in homes and cars
➡️Ask about unsecured firearms in the homes children visit
