Practice-based pediatric research offers advantages over hospital-based studies, improving study scope and sample size. This approach, exemplified by the Pediatric Practice Research Group, yields high-quality data and enhances clinical research.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric research
  • Health services research
  • Clinical research methodology

Background:

  • Growing recognition of hospital-based research limitations.
  • Practice-based pediatric research enhances study scope, natural history, and controls.
  • Patient registries can advance cohort, incidence, and health services research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the activities and experiences of the Chicago area Pediatric Practice Research Group.
  • To share insights into the characteristics and feasibility of practice-based research.
  • To foster an exchange of ideas among those interested in practice-based research.

Main Methods:

  • The Chicago area Pediatric Practice Research Group, a consortium of 81 practitioners in 27 practices, was formed in 1984.

  • The group has undertaken six studies, often with external funding.
  • Analysis of unifying characteristics and feasibility of practice-based research.

    • Main Results:

    • Practice-based research requires tailoring protocols to practice routines and involves critical roles for office staff.
    • Specific study features can be identified to minimize disruption to office functioning.
    • High-quality, reproducible data can be obtained from geographically dispersed collection sites.

    Conclusions:

    • Practice-based pediatric research is feasible and yields high-quality data.
    • Adaptation of research protocols and engagement of office staff are key to successful implementation.
    • This experience provides valuable lessons for developing future practice-based research initiatives.
