Pediatric Telephone Advice: Seattle Hotline Experience
Keyword(s):
Pediatric hotlines gives parents and interested parties the opportunity to call pediatricians with questions regarding child health issues. More than a dozen such hotlines have been held by state chapters of the American Academy of Pediatrics in all regions of the United States. They were promoted by regional newspapers and generally preceded by feature articles centered on child health concerns. The first hotline was held in 1987 by pediatricians in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, and Virginia in conjunction with the Washington, DC, chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the newspaper USA Today. Seattle-area pediatricians and The Seattle Times sponsored a 1-day, 8-hour hotline in March 1989.
