Parents or caregivers of a child with ADHD ages 6, 7 or 8 are invited to participate in a study to reduce ADHD symptoms. Parents are asked to complete surveys at two or three time points and to complete a six-week online course called the Nurtured Heart Approach.

We are looking for families with a child or adolescent with a diagnosis of type 1 diabetes to participate in a study examining the effects of an intervention to assist families with their daily routines. Assessments and the intervention consultation address sleep, school, and family activities that may help or interfere with diabetes management.

This study will consist of a brief survey (approximately 5 min) examining the family history and behaviors of mothers who have previously given birth. Our goal is to examine birth outcomes to improve maternal-child health. You will receive a children's book for your participation.

The Pediatric Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Incidence and Epidemiology (PARDIE) study is designed as a multi-center international observational, cross sectional study of new cases of PARDS involving 5 continuous days of screening and patient enrollment, occurring every 2 months for a year (6 total study weeks). Included patients will have a new diagnosis of PARDS during the study week or be at risk for PARDS. Data collection will concentrate on the first 3 days of PARDS diagnosis, and follow outcomes such as mortality and length of ventilation.

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are adult cells that have been genetically reprogrammed to be able to develop into the various cell types that make up the human body. Skin biopsies taken from pediatric patients with rare neurodegenerative disorders and age matched controls will be used to generate patient specific iPSC cell lines. These cell lines will then be developed into various neuronal cell populations in order to study the genetic cause of these rare and incurable diseases.
