Inclusion of Children in Clinical Research: The Role of Advocacy and a Personal Journey

Scott C Denne et al. Pediatr Clin North Am. 2023 Feb.

Abstract

Many groups have historically been excluded from clinical research. It has required vigorous, long-term advocacy efforts for better inclusion of women and children across racial and ethnic groups. To understand who is included in clinical research, data are required. A personal journey of advocacy requiring the National Institutes of Health to report inclusion in clinical studies by age was ultimately accomplished by federal legislation.
