AAP chapter leaders will be asked this month to poll their membership regarding interest in the potential establishment of an AAP collaborative research network. Such a network would allow office-based pediatricians to collectively select and conduct practice-related research projects. The importance of office-based research is emphasized by the fact that three-fourths of all health care visits made by U.S. children are to office-based physicians. In contrast, most data generated about child health care comes from studies conducted in other settings such as hospitals, clinics or academic institutions.
