Our team and TCH conducts surveillance for the CDC to identify children who present to outpatient locations, the emergency room, or inpatient units with respiratory or gastrointestinal symptoms. Our team reviews patient lists to identify potentially eligible children for participation based on their presenting symptoms. We approach the parents of eligible children, review study procedures, and document consent for participation, if the parent agrees. We administer a brief questionnaire and will either collect a stool sample (from a dirty diaper) and/or nasal swab depending on the study.
