P445: Applying Down syndrome surveillance guidelines in pediatric primary care: An evaluation of pediatric resident knowledge and self-efficacy

Down Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by an increase in copy number of the long arm of chromosome 21, either by whole chromosome aneuploidy or unbalanced structural rearrangement. It is the most common chromosomal disorder in the United States, with an incidence of approximately 1 in 700 live births. Few previous studies have evaluated the efficacy of educational tools to aid pediatricians and pediatric residents in delivering a diagnosis of Down Syndrome, but none has evaluated the efficacy of educational tools in improving knowledge or self-efficacy of pediatricians or pediatric residents in applying Down Syndrome surveillance guidelines.
