Problems in follow-up studies

LN Robins

Recent regulations concerning consent procedures and protection of privacy fall most severely on follow-up studies of childre.

Further, complicance with current "subjects' rights" regulations sometimes seems potentially more harmful to the subjects than is the research itself.
