Project Description:

This career development award proposes to study children with invasive home mechanical ventilation (HMV) through a mixed methods approach. Prolonged hospitalizations during sensitive epochs of childhood thwart developmental opportunities and impact on long term disability. This proposed project examines child, family, and healthcare system factors which mitigate long hospitalizations in order to maximize participation of children with HMV in family, education and community life activities and to prevent the severest forms of disability.
