Current Studies
Our list of active studies is always evolving. Check out the latest set of studies currently recruiting through our network.
Families
Pediatric PittNet works with your child’s doctors to improve the health of our region’s children. To do this, we bring together doctors from practices like Children’s Community Pediatrics and Children’s Hospital to work with faculty in the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, School of Nursing, and Graduate School of Public Health. Together, this network is dedicated to discovering new ways to improve the health and wellness of our children through research. Their research covers both behavioral conditions like autism, depression, and ADHD and physical conditions like ear infections and sinusitis. This then helps doctors learn more about how these issues affect our children and how best to prevent, diagnose, and treat them.
