Study Summary: Diarrhoea and vomiting is common in primary careand the community, yet there is little scientific evidence to guide management decisions. Before interventional studies can be conducted there is a need to describe the presentation and management of these illnesses, and describe how these are related to clinical outcomes. In addition, there is a need to describe the health beliefs and behaviours of patients, parents, and clinicians to inform interventions aimed at prompting appropriate help seeking and management. This study will describe the presentation, management, and outcomes of diarrhoea and/or vomiting in children presenting to UK primary care, and generate an understanding of related health beliefs and knowledge of carers and primary care clinicians. The ADVICE Study will have results from December 2013. |
