Pediatric Research in Office Settings (PROS), founded in 1986, is the practice-based research network of the AAP. Its mission is to improve the health of children and enhance primary care practice by conducting and fostering national collaborative-based research. PROS is a real-world pediatric primary care laboratory. Studies approved for PROS are typically encounter-based projects that can capitalize on the national scale and diversity of the network.

PLACES

Pediatrician Life and Career Experience Study (PLACES) is a longitudinal cohort study that tracks the personal and professional experiences of pediatricians recruited early in their careers. A total of 2,700 pediatricians in 3 cohorts provide annual updates on core issues such as satisfaction, work-life balance, work environment, daily stressors, and life changes.

PERIODIC SURVEY

The Periodic Survey is an AAP program that has collected more than 75,000 pediatrician responses on over 100 topics since 1987. The core purpose of the Periodic Survey is to support the AAP’s strategic mission, and data collected by the survey have been essential in directly informing the Academy’s policy, education, and advocacy initiatives.
