Creating new knowledge about the medical challenges of international adoption can serve all current and future adoptive parents, as well as health and adoption professionals. The International Adoption Center (IAC) at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center is building a research program to examine the health status of all patients served.

Over time, data collection and analysis will uncover country-specific health trends and related implications. Such data will help predict clinical outcomes and support research initiatives.
