Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Medication counseling

Participants will receive a customized written medication instruction sheet which includes a picture of an oral dosing syringe indicating the patient's dose as well as a chart showing medication name, dose, route, frequency, duration, next dose due, side effects, and storage information. In addition, participants will be shown how to draw up their child's dose using an oral syringe and then will be asked to practice this task ("show-back"). "Teach-back" will be used to ensure participant's understanding of medication details.
