    Abstract Background: Children's burn injuries can have a significant psychosocial impact on parents. However, the stress involved in caring for a child following a burn can often go unrecognized and does not necessarily prompt help seeking by parents.
    Objective: It is common for adults to seek health-related support and information via the Internet. Many benefit from immediate and easy access to online psychological interventions. A prototype burn-specific, parent-focused, peer-informed, supportive website, designed to provide easy access to information and psychoeducation, was created and tested for acceptability.
    Patient involvement: Using a partnership-based method of website development, parents and professionals (clinical, academic and support organizations) were recruited and their particular expertise was acknowledged and valued. A participatory action approach was adopted to determine the acceptability of the website for parents/carers.
    Methods: 31 participants (9 parents, 22 professionals) tested a prototype version of the website. Data was collected using the eHealth Impact Questionnaire and the concurrent think-aloud protocol.
    Results: Parents and professionals had favorable opinions of the website. Parents' ratings tended to be more favorable than professionals', which was significant for the information and presentation. Participants' thoughts were categorized into seven topics: need, structure/navigation, trust/relevance, language/comprehension, therapeutic content, mode of delivery, and suggested improvements.
    Discussion: Many practical and psychological barriers can prevent parents of burn-injured children accessing psychosocial support and contribute to a feeling of isolation. Participants felt that the website would be a valuable addition to UK pediatric burn care. The existence of an accessible resource could help to normalize parents' experience of their child's injury and reduce their perceived isolation, although peer interaction is not provided by the website.
    Practical value: This online resource, hosting information and peers' personal experiences, offers promising and exciting opportunities to empower parents whilst providing accessible supportive advice to encourage self-care and formal/informal support seeking when necessary.

    Abstract Background: Often researchers use only one interview method within a single study. However, it is increasingly common for a variety of interview methods to be employed within a project. Providing choice to participants may facilitate recruitment, particularly when research focuses on a sensitive subject.
    Aim: This paper aims to explore participants' reasons for their choice of interview method in qualitative research focusing on a sensitive subject.
    Methods: Qualitative data was collected from 12 participants regarding their choice of interview method (face-to-face, Skype, telephone or email) in a wider study investigating parents' experiences following their child's burn-injury. Interview data was transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was used to analyse responses.
    Results: Participants most frequently chose to take part in an interview by telephone (n = 5), followed by email (n = 4), then Skype (n = 2), and face-to-face (n = 1). Four themes emerged suggesting that participants' decisions to participate via a particular method were determined by personal convenience, their belief in their ability to be open with the researcher despite potential upset caused by the topic, their ability to get a "feel" for the researcher, and concern about giving adequate depth in responses.
    Conclusions: Flexibility regarding the ways in which participants can take part in qualitative research may improve participant access to research, recruitment, and response-rate. Although, the depth and quantity of data gathered using different methods can vary. It is important that researchers consider the procedures and appropriateness of using different methods of interviewing and what impact such methods might have upon themselves and their participants.

    Abstract Introduction: Burn injuries can be traumatic and distressing for the affected child and family, with a prolonged period of recovery. This research explores parents' experiences of support following their child's injury and their thoughts on peer support specifically.
    Methods: Thirteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with parents/caregivers, a mean of three years after their child's injury, either face-to-face or remotely. Responses were analysed using thematic analysis.
    Results: Analysis produced four themes and 11 sub-themes. These described parents' experiences of loss, change, isolation and access to psychosocial support. This paper focuses on themes of isolation and parents' access to psychosocial support.
    Discussion: Findings indicate that parents access psychosocial support following their child's injury and often find it helpful; however, there is a prevailing sense of isolation. Parents often seek information online and find that this is lacking. Many parents reported that peer support would be valuable to them, particularly the sharing of experiential knowledge.
    Conclusion: An online resource may be beneficial for parents, but further research is needed to confirm the exploratory data gained to date, ensuring that any resource developed would meet the identified needs of parents.

    Abstract Aim: To explore soft-shell padded headgear (HG) use, player behavior and injuries associated with HG in junior Australian football.
    Methods: Prospective case-crossover with head impact measurement, injury surveillance and video review.
    Results: 40 players (mean age: 12.43 years, standard deviation: 1.36) across 15 matches were observed. Frequency of head/neck (p = 0.916) or body (p = 0.883) contact events, and match incidents were similar between HG and no HG conditions. Without HG, females had higher frequency of body contacts compared with males (p = 0.015). Males sustained more body contacts with HG than without HG (p = 0.013).
    Conclusion: Use of HG in junior football was not associated with injury or head contact rate. Associations between HG use and body contact may differ across sexes. (ID: ACTRN12619001165178).

    Abstract We assessed the relationship between antigen and reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) test positivity and successful virus isolation. We found that antigen test results were more predictive of virus recovery than RT-PCR results. However, virus was isolated from some antigen-negative and RT-PCR‒positive paired specimens, providing support for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention antigen testing algorithm.

    Abstract Defective interfering viral particles have been reported as important determinants of the course of viral infection, and they can markedly temper the virulence of the infection. Here, we describe a simple method, based on limiting dilution, for the removal of defective interfering particles from RSV. This method results in a high-titer viral preparation from both HEp-2 and Vero cell lines. We evaluated two concentrations of sucrose to stabilize the virus preparation, and demonstrate that RSV is stable when prepared and stored in 25 % sucrose at -152 °C. In addition, this chapter describes some commonly used methods of RSV titration, detection using microtitration and quantitative real-time RT-PCR, and the use of immunostaining for antigenic characterization.
