Abstract
Described the practical problems that threaten the progress of psychological research conducted in pediatric settings and strategies to manage these problems. Research collaborations with physicians and setting-based constraints on data collection and research participants place strenuous demands on investigators. Special efforts are needed to enhance the quality of interdisciplinary research collaboration, lessen constraints on research participants, set priorities for research activities, and develop necessary support for research. To facilitate the progress of psychological research in pediatric settings, research training and continuing education should equip researchers to deal with the problems of applied research with pediatric populations.
