Abstract
Recent regulations concerning consent procedures and protection of privacy fall most severely on follow-up studies of childre. Indeed, rigorous sample selection, nearly complete follow-up, and objective assessment of outcome are virtually impossible now. Further, complicance with current "subjects' rights" regulations sometimes seems potentially more harmful to the subjects than is the research itself.Keywords
