A
A Center of Excellence in Child and
Adolescent Health Research
Our research center was created to promote the health of babies, children, adolescents, and young adults by advancing meaningful and creative clinical (临床的) research. Through this website, we bring participants, families, researchers, health care providers, and the community into our research home where we can learn from one another. Together, we can promote the health of children and youth by advancing meaningful and innovative (创新的) clinical research.
For Families & Caregivers
Currently, guidelines for treating children are often based on data from adult studies. To improve clinical care of children, more studies are needed focusing on children's health with the goal to better diagnose, treat, and prevent the diseases that are specific to children. Learn how you can help doctors and nurses provide the best care.
For Teens & Young Adults
We need adolescents and young adults like you to help doctors and nurses provide the best care they can. Doctors and nurses use what they learn from research studies to take care of patients, but most of this research has been done with adults. Your bodies are different from older adults and your health needs are different too! We need you to help us learn about the best treatments for teens and young adults and you can make a difference.
For Children
Considering the state of children treatment, child health research is the best way to advance medical care for children. We need children of different ages, genders, races, and neighborhoods to participate in studies so doctors will know which treatments work best for children.
