Official title
Methadone Perception in Caregivers, Surgeons and Anesthesiologists of Pediatric Outpatient Surgery Patients
Overview
This is a cross-sectional survey study to describe the perception of methadone in various groups, caregivers of pediatric outpatient surgical patients, surgeons, and anesthesiologists. There is little information about perceptions of methadone use for outpatient surgery of the caregivers of children presenting for surgery, as well as orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists. Therefore, this study aims to describe the caregiver perception for children presenting for surgery and its associations with the social determinants of health. The investigators hypothesize that children with caregivers residing in disadvantaged neighborhoods, preferring a language of care other than English, and who are of minority race and ethnicity are more likely to have a negative view of methadone use. Similarly, they hypothesize that orthopedic surgeons and anesthesiologists will also have a negative view of methadone use despite its potential postoperative pain benefits.
