Participating in Clinical Research Studies
You and/or Your Child Can Help
Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center's involvement in research studies is crucial to understanding diseases and developing new ways to understand, prevent or treat health problems.
Research studies, or trials, as they are often called, depend on volunteers who agree to be part of carefully controlled tests that measure the effects of medications, medical treatments, or devices. By volunteering, you and/or your child can further medical knowledge and potentially help other children and adults.
Cincinnati Children's mission is to be the leader in improving child as well as adult health. As part of that mission, doctors and scientists at the hospital conduct research at Cincinnati Children's Research Foundation that improves the quality of pediatric and adult care in the community, the nation and the world. In the past, research at Cincinnati Children's has led to medical developments such as the Sabin oral polio vaccine and the first heart-lung machine.
