Final Consultation on the Best Practices for Health Research Involving Children and Adolescents


We are pleased to inform you that we are now launching the final consultation on the Best Practices for Health Research Involving Children and Adolescents.

The project started in 2008, aiming at assisting research ethics boards and health researchers in dealing with paediatric populations. After the first draft of the Best Practices had been developed, several consultations took place across the country. Various specialized groups provided valuable comments that were incorporated into the current draft. Among these groups was CAREB that held a special session to invite input at its annual conference in April 2011. 

We would be grateful if you would inform the CAREB  members of this final opportunity to provide comments.

The final draft of the Best Practices is being hosted on the Pediagen website http://www.pediagen.org/ with comments to be sent directly to Bestpractices-children@cihr-irsc.gc.ca by February 29, 2012
