Conditions
Brief summary
This study investigates ongoing symptoms following COVID-19 and influenza infections in children and teenagers. Parents of children who have had COVID-19 or influenza will be invited to participate. Initially, cases will be identified through presentations at the Women's and Children's Hospital and will then expand to include statewide notifications. After providing consent, participants (or their parents) will complete surveys at the start of the study and then again at 3, 6, and 12 months after the viral infection. These surveys will help researchers monitor any persistent health issues over time. The primary goal of the study is to understand how common these ongoing health problems are in young people and how they impact their daily lives.
Interventions
Children and adolescents aged 0 to 17 who have tested positive for COVID-19 or influenza are eligible for enrollment. Those who consent will be asked to complete a baseline, 3-month, 6-month, and 12-month online survey. Each online survey takes approximately 10 minutes. Participants are enrolled in the study for 12 months.
