Estimated Enrollment:   377
Study Start Date:   April 2003
Estimated Study Completion Date:   April 2009
Estimated Primary Completion Date:   April 2009 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Arms Assigned Interventions
1: Active Comparator Behavioral: Preoperative Preparation Program (Child Life Specialist)
This group will receive the standard preoperative visit to the hospital with Child Life intervention
2: Active Comparator Drug: Midazolam
0.5 mg/kg oral midazolam
3: Active Comparator Behavioral: Parental Presence during Induction of Anesthesia
One parent will be present during induction of anesthesia of the child. The parent will be accompanied out of the OR by a nurse once the induction is completed. These parents will have completed a parent preparation program.
4: Active Comparator Other: PPIA preparation program PLUS Midazolam premedication
Subjects in this group will receive both interventions 2 and 3.
