Published on: March 21, 2023
Description: The “Including Young People in Research” toolkit offers tools, checklists, and considerations to support the intentional inclusion of the youth perspective in pediatric clinical trials and product development. These materials can assist investigators, Institutional Review Boards (IRBs)/Ethics Committees (ECs), sponsors, and others working with children and adolescents to engage youth respectfully and thoughtfully, helping to ensure that their perspectives are valued, gathered, appropriately weighted, and integrated. We expect that individuals will adapt these tools to their local context and specific study needs. We invite you to watch our short companion video for additional details on how to use and adapt these tools.
