Responding to the challenge of the children's health act: an introduction to children in research.
This overview describes the breadth of topics covered in this volume devoted to children in research. It summarizes how these articles are interrelated and how they all respond to the challenge proposed by the Children's Health Act of 2000: to consider what modifications, if any, are necessary to current regulations "to ensure the adequate and appropriate protection of children participating in research."
