Survey Questions

Mobile technology is omnipresent in society. Though studies suggest increased rates of smartphone accessibility, current access and barriers to smartphone usage at urban primary care clinics remains unclear. A self-administered survey was distributed to families presenting to an urban, underserved pediatric primary care clinic in spring 2017. Survey questions related to smartphone ownership and barriers to usage. A total of 273 parents completed the survey. Ninety-five percent of participants owned a smartphone. Fifty-eight percent of participants identified no barriers to smartphone usage. Among those who identified one or more barriers (n = 108), difficulties were primarily related to Wi-Fi access (46%), available phone memory (45%), existing phone data (28%), and discomfort with technology (11%). The majority of parents (59%) were interested in using a smartphone to learn about their child’s health. In conclusion, there is opportunity to transform health education utilizing mobile devices, though disparities to usage should be considered.

A recent issue of this Journal carried the Kenneth G. Blackfan Memorial Lecture delivered to the Children's Hospital Alumni Association in Boston on May 30, 1973.1 It was given by Dr. Cicely Williams and entitled "Health Services in the Home." In her message directed at pediatric academia, Dr. Williams essentially said, "Be off with your ultrascience, your superspecialists ... Give thought instead to the thousands who are sick ... Teachers, stop seducing the very best into your snare of enzymes, isotopes and transducers, leaving only a small group to replace our dwindling cohort of primary care deliverers." That very same issue carried a commentary entitled "Primary Medical Care and Medical Research Training" by Dr. David G. Nathan of the Children's Hospital Medical Center.2

The Impact

Abstract Objective: To identify the impact of universal masking on COVID-19 incidence and putative SARS-CoV-2 transmissions events among children’s hospital healthcare workers (HCWs). Design: Quasi-experimental study. Setting: Single academic free-standing children’s hospital. Methods: We performed whole-genome sequencing of SARS-CoV-2- PCR-positive samples collected from HCWs 3 weeks before and 6 weeks after implementing a universal masking policy. Phylogenetic analyses were performed to identify clusters of clonally related SARS-CoV-2 indicative of putative transmission events. We measured COVID-19 incidence, SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates, and frequency of putative transmission events before and after the masking policy was implemented. Results: HCW COVID-19 incidence and test positivity declined from 14.3 to 4.3 cases per week, and from 18.4% to 9.0%, respectively. Putative transmission events were only identified prior to universal masking. Conclusions: A universal masking policy was associated with reductions in HCW COVID-19 infections and occupational acquisition of SARS-CoV-2.
