What should be the research agenda for developmental behavioral pediatrics?
This commentary recognizes the great accomplishment and future potential of research in developmental and behavioral pediatrics. It cautions against endorsing a longterm strategy of choosing relevant research topics based solely on today's population trends, as these are likely to change over time. The commentary supports DBPNet's own research emphases on autism and attention-deficit disorder based on their own interests and the specific goals supported by their funding mechanism.
