Reducing Missed Appointments for Neurodevelopmental Disorders
This study is looking at ways to help families keep appointments for children with neurodevelopmental disorders (conditions affecting brain development). It's testing two main approaches: different reminder messages and patient navigation services. Patient navigation means someone helps families overcome barriers to attending appointments. The study wants to see if these interventions reduce the number of missed appointments over 6 months. You can join if you are between 1 month and 24 years old and have an evaluation appointment scheduled at the center for autism or the center for neuropsychological and psychological assessment. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.
- Study design
