Children and Drug Safety: Balancing Risk and Protection in Twentieth-Century America (Book) [show prizes]
Title: Children and Drug Safety: Balancing Risk and Protection in Twentieth-Century America
Author: Cynthia A. Connolly
Abstract: "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. Each chapter of the book 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.
