Children and Drug Safety 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 today have
never been tested for safety and efficacy in the pediatric
population. Each chapter of Children and Drug Safety engages with
major turning points in pediatric drug development; themes of
children's risk, rights, protection and the evolving context of
childhood; child-rearing; and family life in ways freighted with
nuances of race, class, and gender. Cynthia A. Connolly charts the
numerous attempts by Congress, the Food and Drug Administration,
the American Academy of Pediatrics, and leading pediatric
pharmacologists, scientists, clinicians, and parents to address a
situation that all found untenable.
