\nDescription: These Best Practices provide an overview of international and Canadian ethical norms, reflecting the current situation in Canada regarding health research involving children and adolescents. For a more critical analysis of these norms, please refer to Pediatric Research in Canada (D. Avard, J. Samu\u00ebl and B.M. Knoppers (eds), Les \u00c9ditions Th\u00e9mis, 2009) and La recherche clinique avec les enfants: \u00e0 la crois\u00e9e de l\u2019\u00e9thique et du droit -Belgique, France, Qu\u00e9bec (ML Delfosse, MH Parizeau et JP Amann (\u00e9d.) PUL & Anth\u00e9mis, 2009).<\/p>\n
These Best Practices also do not provide specific guidance for research involving the First Nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis peoples of Canada. For research involving Aboriginal children and youth, the Best Practices should be used in conjunction with the Tri-Council Policy Statement, Chapter 9, \u201cResearch Involving the First Nations, Inuit and M\u00e9tis Peoples of Canada\u201d (http:\/\/www.pre.ethics.gc.ca\/eng\/policy-politique\/initiatives\/tcps2-eptc2\/chapter9-chapitre9\/).<\/p>\n
