Seattle Children’s Hospital has awarded HIPRC trainee, Mallory Smith, MD, MS, a research grant for her proposal titled, “Inequitable Access to the Bedside: Barriers to Family Presence during Pediatric Critical Illness.” Dr. Smith’s study plans to identify barriers to, and facilitators of, family presence in intensive care units. Her team also hopes to understand differences in family emotional coping by level presence and participation during their child’s critical admission.
