title: When, why, and how to conduct research in child and adolescent psychiatry: practical and ethical considerations.
abstract: Changes in the clinical research enterprise to involve practicing psychiatrists in gathering evidence in real-world settings are truly exciting. The CAPTN breaks important ground as a PBRN in psychiatry. The authors anticipate that more practical clinical trials will come. These changes challenge psychiatrists to reach an entirely new level of understanding and appreciation of the ethical and practical challenges of commingling clinical practice and research. It is time that all practicing psychiatrists prepare to meet these challenges.
