What this Trial Is About
This research aims to describe the digital literacy levels among caregivers of children undergoing surgery. The study focuses on caregivers of pediatric surgical patients and explores how factors like minority race, non-English primary language, and living in areas with limited resources may affect digital literacy. Participants in this observational study are caregivers of pediatric patients under 18 years old presenting for surgery. Caregivers will complete surveys using a questionnaire delivered via REDCap during the perioperative period to assess their digital literacy and health literacy. Participants will be involved from enrollment through the perioperative time. Researchers will measure digital literacy using the EDLQ digital literacy scores and health literacy using the eHEALS Health Literacy scores. The study will monitor these outcomes throughout the study period ending around July 2028.
