Outcome measures are ways we tell how well babies are doing in the hospital or after going home. Outcome measures used in research may not be the best. One reason is that medications, devices, or care practices can affect many different organ systems, so it is important evaluate more than one area. Another is deciding whether to measure outcomes while the infant is still in the hospital or to wait see how the infant is doing after going home. That decision is complex; one consideration is that some families cannot be reached after going home and their valuable information is lost. Finally, researchers and doctors often view outcomes differently than families. While it is important researchers and doctors make sure outcomes are valid and medically relevant, it is just as important to understand parents' and caregivers' opinions on outcome measures.

The purpose of this study is to explore areas of discrimination experienced by our community of providers as well as determining areas of implicit bias that may affect how we practice medicine.

The goal of this project is to develop an OSCE to evaluate the education that anesthesiology resident physicians receive as part of their first (of two) regional anesthesia rotations. The exam will test resident knowledge and skills of regional anesthesiology and assess competency with the main regional anesthesiology blocks outlined in the ABA content outline for resident training. This will provide valuable feedback for the participant about their gaps of knowledge and allow the regional anesthesiology division of the UNC Department of Anesthesiology to assess resident educational curriculum and address any topics that need to be emphasized.
(1) To translate a remote developmental assessment into Spanish with feedback from the Spanish-speaking community (2) To try out the assessment with Latinx infants who are showing risk signs of a developmental disability. After completing the assessment, we will interview families about their experiences. We hope that this information will help us improve remote assessments for Latinx families to better match their culture and language.
