Abstract
In addition to all provisions discussed previously for research with any subject population, special protections have been instituted for children who serve as research subjects. These protections involve various consent factors and extra responsibilities of institutional review boards (IRBs) when children are involved. Before we examine these two areas, let us look at a brief overview of the history of these rules. It should be noted that the rules discussed in this chapter are thefinal HHS rules for research with children. As we will see, these rules were delayed for several years, due primarily to a freeze placed by President Reagan on regulations in general. However, they were made final just before this book was printed. Given the amount of time and deliberation devoted to these rules before they were made final in 1983, it is likely that the rules (as appended to this chapter) will remain in effect for the forseeable future.
