Summary

This study tests a mobile app called L-WebTIPS, designed to help Latinx children ages 2-7 and their parents prepare for surgery. The app provides culturally tailored information and coping skills to reduce anxiety and pain. Researchers will compare the app to standard care in 120 children having outpatient surgery. The goal is to improve recovery and reduce surgical disparities.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: L-WebTIPS mobile health application
What this could lead to: If it works, this could provide a low-cost, culturally tailored tool to help Latinx children feel less anxious and have less pain after surgery.
What could go wrong: This is an early feasibility study, so it is not yet proven to work. The app may not reduce pain or anxiety more than standard care, and results may not apply to all children.
