Residency exposures and anticipated future involvement in community settings.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To assess how exposures to community activities in residency impact anticipated future involvement in community child health settings.

Methods

Prospective cohort study of pediatric residents from 10 programs (12 sites) who completed training between 2003 and 2009. Residents reported annual participation for ≥ 8 days in each of 7 community activities (eg, community settings, child health advocacy) in the prior year. At the start and end of residency, residents reported anticipated involvement in 10 years in 8 community settings (eg, school, shelter).

Logistic regression modeled whether residency exposures independently influenced anticipated future involvement at the
