Summary

This study asks caregivers of children undergoing surgery to fill out a survey about their digital skills. The goal is to see whether digital literacy is lower among caregivers of minority backgrounds, those who speak languages other than English, or those living in low-opportunity neighborhoods. By understanding these patterns, hospitals may find ways to better support families in using online health tools.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: REDCap Survey (questionnaire)
What this could lead to: If this study succeeds, it could identify caregivers who may need extra support with digital health tools, helping hospitals communicate more effectively.
What could go wrong: This is an observational survey, so it won't test any treatment. Results may not apply to all caregivers or hospitals, and digital literacy is just one factor in health outcomes.
