Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Research associates will then attempt to obtain consent from the parent. If consent is obtained, the research associate will then attempt to obtain assent from patients aged \> 6 years. If the research associate feels the child is unable to assent based on their developmental capabilities, the research associate will then indicate this on the assent form and sign in the space provided for the research associate.
Once consent and assent, if applicable, are obtained, the research associate will then select an envelope from the top of a pre-randomized stack. The contents of the envelope will either contain a questionnaire and satisfaction survey for the intervention arm, or simply a satisfaction survey if in the control arm.
If the intervention arm is selected, the research associate will then distribute the questionnaire to the parent and ask them to fill it out to the best of their ability. The research associate will then return to collect the questionnaire and one of the physician providers caring for the patient must review the questionnaire prior to seeing the patient. This hospital is a teaching institution and physician providers may include residents, fellows, and attendings.
Once reviewed, the physician provider will sign at the bottom of the questionnaire and proceed with the encounter. Multiple providers, including nursing staff and clinical assistants may review the questionnaire as well, which will be kept on the paper chart.
When the patient's disposition is determined, the research associate will distribute the satisfaction survey and an envelope for the survey to be sealed within once completed by the parent. The satisfaction survey, along with the questionnaire and any other study documents, will be collected and placed in the envelope. The envelopes will be stored in a badge-access protected office inside of a locked cabinet behind a password protected door. Only fellows, attendings, and a few fellowship-associated and research-associated providers have access to this office.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Standard of Care
The control arm participants will receive only a satisfaction survey once disposition is determined by the physician provider. The satisfaction survey will be collected by the research associated and kept in a protected location, along with all other study materials.
All patients will receive standard of care, which at this institution is the help of Child Life Specialists, when they are available and requested by the physician. Physicians will be instructed to request Child Life Specialists with the same discretion as with all patients.
No interventions assigned to this group
Questionnaire
Participants who are randomized to the questionnaire arm will receive a patient-centered questionnaire at the beginning of their visit. This single page document will ask questions about their child including, but not limited to, diagnoses, suggestions for distraction, sensory issues that may affect their visit, and method to best administer medications. The research associate will ask them to fill it out to the best of their ability and will collect the questionnaire prior to a physician provider seeing the patient. At least one physician provider must review the questionnaire prior to seeing the patient.
Once disposition is determined, the satisfaction survey will be distributed by the research associate along with an envelope for the parent to seal their survey within.
