#AAPPROS19- 50-70% of parents expect antibiotics for their child's acute respiratory infection. If the physician perceives this expectation, they are more likely to prescribe antibiotics, frequently inappropriately. #tweetiatrician

#AAPPROS- A negative treatment recommendation (antibiotics won't help him get better) followed by a positive recommendation (honey may help his cough) can help families feel satisfied without antibiotics for acute respiratory illnesses. #tweetiatrician

#AAPPROS19- Giving the family a contingency plan- Call me back if she's not better in 5 days or sooner if she is worse- helps families feel satisfied without antibiotics for acute respiratory illnesses. #tweetiatrician

#AAPPROS19- The best part of any American Academy of Pediatrics PROS research network meeting- learning about a proposed new study. The PROS Process at work! #tweetiatrician #PutKids1st

#AAPPROS19- Over 100,000 Poison Control Center Calls annually for medication errors. Talk about room for improvement and fertile ground for a good American Academy of Pediatrics PROS research study!

#AAPPROS19- Far more medication errors if prescription med labels listed teaspoon or tablespoon rather than ml amounts. Parents also more likely to use regular spoons if spoon amounts listed on the label. Labels should have only ml amounts listed! #MedErrors #tweetiatrician

So thrilled to announce the new name for our CHOP Research Institute Center. We look forward to the research ahead in building the future of pediatric care. #ClinicalFutures

Listen to hear my conversation with Katie Lockwood, MD, MEd on the future of primary care.

When you get invited to speak at an AAP National Conference & Exhibition Plenary session, and tell thousands of pediatricians about the PROS research network and how it changes pediatric practice, you know you've made the big time. Congrats, Dr. Alexander Fiks! #AAP2023 #PediatricResearchMatters
