There is currently a need for more youth to participate in clinical trials in order to improve the quality and quantity of knowledge related to the health and well-being of children and adolescents. More research is necessary, so that youth are not provided with drugs or treatment recommendations that are based upon clinical research findings from studies conducted with adults. Given that youth are developmentally and physiologically different from adults, they may respond differently to treatment, and require different medications and dosages.<\/p>\n<p>There are a number of barriers that may prevent youth from participating in pediatric clinical trials, such as parents\u2019 needing to take time off from work, students needing to take time off from school, travel expenses, and children\u2019s procedure-related anxiety.\u00a0 The goal of the web-based resource is to provide information about pediatric clinical research to youth and their caregivers in order to educate them about the potential benefits of participation as well as to address their concerns.<\/p>\n<p><em>DigiKnowIt News<\/em> was initially developed as a prototype as part of a successful Phase I SBIR contract from NHLBI.\u00a0 The interactivity and content of the web application was created with input and feedback from youth, parents, and experts in the fields of pediatric clinical research, child development, and instructional design. \u201cThis resource addresses the need to inform and educate youth in a fun and interactive way, and also, provides them with tools to facilitate their decision-making related to agreeing to participate in research,\u201d said Dr. Parker.<\/p>\n<p>A randomized controlled trial will be conducted to evaluate the efficacy of the web application for increasing the knowledge, self-efficacy, and positive attitudes related to participating in a pediatric clinical trial of children and adolescents. At the conclusion of this project, the web application will be available to any youth through a link on the NHLBI Children and Clinical Studies website <em>The Kids Files.<\/em> \u00a0In addition, iRT will prepare a commercially available version that will allow for the inclusion of branding and customizable content, so it can be tailored to a particular research study or organization.\u00a0 iRT is currently refining the original prototype of the web application.\u00a0 \u201cWe look forward to getting valuable input from youth and researchers who have been involved in pediatric clinical trials in order to integrate their perspectives into this needed resource,\u201d said Dr. Scull.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About innovation Research &amp; Training<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>innovation Research &amp; Training (iRT) is a behavioral sciences research company committed to identifying and solving significant real-world problems facing children, families, communities, and organizations.
