There are several challenges in collecting data in pediatrics:
- Privacy Concerns: Protecting the confidentiality of pediatric data is paramount. Ensuring compliance with laws like HIPAA is essential. - Data Accuracy: Ensuring that the data collected is accurate and reliable can be difficult, especially with self-reported information. - Parental Consent: Obtaining informed consent from parents for data collection and research can be a complex process. - Technological Barriers: Not all families have access to the necessary technology for digital data collection, which can limit the comprehensiveness of the data.
