17th ANNUAL EARLY HEARING DETECTION & INTERVENTION MEETING
March 18-20, 2018 • Denver, CO
| National Child Care Provider’s Awareness of Congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV)
National Child Care Provider’s Awareness of Congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV)
The purpose of this research study is to determine what education is currently provided to childcare providers about CMV across the United States, and what preventive measures are in place to reduce the transmission of cCMV to pregnant childcare educators. While other congenital conditions like Down syndrome are more well known, there are more children affected by cCMV (Cannon & Davis 2005). While similar to the study conducted by Thackeray & Magnusson (2016), this study focuses more specifically on childcare centers accredited by Childcare Aware and the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) in order to find larger, established childcare centers in each state. This survey will inform us of the national awareness and prevention of cytomegalovirus and other infectious diseases amongst childcare providers. Results will be discussed in light of current knowledge and implications for a larger national awareness plan.
- Learner will be able to distinguish between cCMV and CMV
- Learner will be able to identify current education practices used with childcare providers regarding (c)CMV
- Learner will be able to identify areas of improvement for (c)CMV education for childcare providers.
