Tools of The Trade: Hidden Populations: Including Adolescents In Your Research

The inclusion of people across the lifespan, from young to old, is an important initiative at the NIH (see https://www.nia.nih.gov/Inclusion-Across-Lifespan-2020.) 

There are special concerns about including pediatric and older populations in your clinical study or other research project, and that extra complication can discourage investigators from reaching out to these populations, even though the research would benefit from that inclusion.

That is why the Center for Clinical and Translational Science is presenting: "Tools of the Trade: Hidden Populations: Including Adolescents in Your Research." The goal of this program is to help researchers become comfortable reaching out to adolescents for projects that would benefit from including participants between 10 and 18 as well as adults.

Speakers from Nationwide Children's Hospital and Ohio State will address the unique developmental issues of the adolescent population, appropriate measurement instruments, ethical challenges and special regulatory requirements, plus the implications for research of health literacy and the transition to adult care. In presentations and panel discussion, you will hear from researchers who are experienced working with adolescents. Their insights will clear a path for you to include adolescents in your research.
