Research

The Section of Adolescent Medicine performs a wide variety of research projects encompassing multiple disciplines. Research projects here are cutting-edge, and many have led to important policy changes that impact the health of communities. Our research teams are all CITI (Collaborative Institutional Training Initiative) certified and uphold the standards of Good Clinical Practices. Our research teams along with the Principal Investigators carry on the long standing tradition of Adolescent Medicine, to continue to ask new questions and turn that knowledge into useful practices that can be translated to our patients and policy decision makers.
