Why It's Important
Why Do Research in Children?
Children are given a medicine, and 70% of those medicines have only been tested in adults
Why Clinical Studies are Important
Clinical research in children helps us to treat our children like children, rather than as little adults.
Research vs. Care
Clinical research can look a lot like regular, or standard, medical care. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference.
How Children Benefit
Research is done to gain information about a disease, condition, drug, or treatment to benefit future children.
The Kids Files
The Kids Files are designed for kids and parents to explore together and learn about clinical studies, through interactive games and activity pages.
