Illness and disease can have devastating impacts on children and their families. In recent years, medical research has led to new discoveries and better treatments and cures for diseases that affect children. But with the wide range of possible children’s health issues to research, where should research dollars be invested?

Unfortunately, medical research does not often involve a public voice. That’s why we asked adults across the country to tell us their priorities for children’s medical research. The results of this National Poll on Children’s Health will be released early next week.

What do you think are the most important areas of children’s health to research? Leave us a comment and let us know what’s important to you or tweet your priorities to #NPCHmedresearch. You can also share your thoughts on our Facebook page. To find out what adults across the country said, sign up for our e-mail list and you’ll receive the results as soon as they’re published.
