Abstract
Over the past several years, particularly with the emergence of evidence-based medicine and empirically supported treatments, the Journal of Pediatric Psychology has been interested in the publication of controlled clinical trials related to interventions in pediatric psychology. Nonetheless, manuscripts related to intervention in pediatric psychology have been slow to appear in JPP's pages, and there is a dearth of these articles in the extant pediatric psychology literature. As editor of JPP, I believe that, in part, it is the responsibility of the senior scholars in the community to assist young and mid-level investigators who embark on such uncharted territory. Thus, the associate editors and I have made specific plans that we trust will stimulate an increase in the publication of clinical trials in JPP particularly over the next 5 years.
