Paediatricians’ perceptions of a potential online psychosocial
intervention for children with RAP
• RAP is common in children (prevalence about 12%), it has no identifiable organic cause, and it affects their daily lives.
• Psychosocial interventions are effective for children with RAP to improve their quality of life and reduce its consequences later in life.
• Online interventions can help to increase access to treatments.
• Paediatricians don’t prescribe psychosocial interventions, whether face-to-face or online.
