title: Interethnic psychopharmacologic research in children and adolescents.
abstract: Interethnic child and adolescent psychopharmacology research is essentially unstudied. Recently there have been reports of interethnic differences in psychopharmacology research on adults. This article addresses the need to focus research on psychopharmacogenetics, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and issues of efficacy and effectiveness in child and adolescent populations of different ethnic groups.
