Pediatric Trials

A Parent's Guide

What it means when a clinical trial is offered for your child: how pediatric trials are designed and overseen, how assent and parental permission work, the questions worth asking, and where your family's rights sit. General education — not medical advice, and not a way to join a study.

24 lessons, about 81 minutes. Free, in your language.
