As a patient at Children’s of Alabama, you and your child may be asked to participate in a research study. Research is an important component that helps clinicians, patients, and parents find answers to questions about treatment plans, medication, and diseases. Research studies cannot be done without participants who are willing to help. Your doctor will answer any questions you may have about a particular study. Participating in a research study is always your choice.
Using what we discover through clinical trials and studies helps us provide quality care to children and helps ensure that doctors and staff at Children’s of Alabama are informed about the most current treatments.
Our goal in Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition is to work together to improve the health and care of your child.
