title = "Ambulatory Pediatric Association policy statement: Ensuring integrity for research with children",
abstract = "Conflicts of interest (both financial and nonfinancial) have eroded public trust in medical research. There is now overwhelming evidence for systematic bias due to conflicts of interest associated with financial links between researchers and their institutions to commercial entities. To help manage and eliminate conflicts of interest and to regain public trust, the Ambulatory Pediatric Association developed a code of ethics for research in general pediatrics. While researchers in general pediatrics encounter many of the same ethical challenges as other medical researchers, many issues apply uniquely to the study of children's health because children may not be able to protect their own interests.",

note = "Funding Information: The APA Research Committee first discussed this issue on May 4, 2002, and agreed to undertake the development of a workshop on Conflict of Interest in Pediatric Research at the 2003 meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies. Funding for APA activities to enhance research integrity was supported through a cooperative agreement with the Association of American Medical Colleges. Under this agreement, an invited group of pediatric generalists met in December 2003 and prepared a draft code of ethics for research in general pediatrics. An open discussion of the draft code was held at the May 2004 meeting of the Pediatric Academic Societies. Additional contributions have resulted in this policy statement, which was approved by the APA Board of Directors on August 20, 2004. Funding Information: This policy statement was developed under a cooperative agreement between the Ambulatory Pediatric Association and the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC) to undertake activities to enhance research integrity in general pediatrics. The cooperative agreement was funded by the Office of Research Integrity of the US Department of Health and Human Services. Copyright: Copyright 2019 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.",
