Who could benefit from this research
✓Could help
Children aged 0–11 who live in Delaware and their families, including those with conditions like asthma or those interested in participating in pediatric research, are ideal candidates.
✕Less likely to help
Children who live outside Delaware, are older than 11, or who do not meet eligibility for specific trials are unlikely to benefit directly from this site.
What this research studies
This program helps kids in Delaware join well-designed pediatric clinical trials by working closely with Nemours Children's Hospital and a statewide network of primary care clinics. It partners with community groups to reach families, especially those at higher risk for poor health outcomes, and uses marketing and informatics to share trial opportunities. The site supports multicenter trials, professional development for clinicians, and collection of health data to improve care for children. Participation focuses on children from birth through age 11 and aims to make trial enrollment easier and more inclusive.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, more Delaware children could gain access to new treatments and improved pediatric care through increased trial availability and participation.
How similar studies have gone: This site continues work from prior ISPCTN cycles that have successfully run multicenter pediatric trials and collaborative working groups, so the approach has precedent.
