Children and Drug Safety

Balancing Risk and Protection in Twentieth-Century America

Beschreibung

Traces the development, use, and marketing of drugs for children in the twentieth century, a history that sits at the interface of the state, business, health care providers, parents, and children. This book illuminates the historical dimension of a clinical and policy issue with great contemporary significance - many of the drugs administered to children have never been tested in the pediatric population.
