Spotlight on Child Welfare and Human Trafficking
In 2012, the U.S. Department of State estimated that 27 million men, women, and children around the world were victims of human trafficking. These victims are often from the most vulnerable populations, including children involved with child welfare. CBX looks at the intersection between child welfare and human trafficking, highlighting Federal Government efforts to combat the issue, a training and technical assistance center offering services to professionals who may encounter victims, and a handbook for enhancing the child welfare response to human trafficking.

AHRP Part 2 of Medical Research Stakeholders Effort to Overturn Informed Consent

ALLIANCE FOR HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTION (AHRP)
Advancing Honest and Ethical Medical Research
www.ahrp.org

FYI
Like many other examples of unethical research, the SUPPORT trial, conducted on extremely vulnerable premature babies, reveals how congruent interest groups—notably, government institutions and the academic medical research establishment—utilize a “strategy of ignorance” about the serious, foreseeable risks of harm, in their defense of such ethical transgression.

In the case of SUPPORT, the risks of brain damage and death were concealed from the parents whose babies were subjected to those risks--at least 23 "extra" babies' lives were sacrificed.

In Part 1 of our essay (whose title has been shortened), "Medical Research Stakeholders Seek to Overturn Informed Consent Protection--Babies in CrossHairs," the focus was on the Neonatal Research Network SUPPORT researchers who seek to return to "the good old days" when
"many pediatricians believed that it was not necessary to obtain permission of parents before using a pediatric patient as a subject in research." 

In Part 2, the focus is on the unholy alliance between government officials and the Medical Research Enterprise threatens our right to Informed Consent and its corollary, our right to refuse to become a subject of medical experiments.

The institutions leading the aggressive defense for SUPPORT, while precipitating the accelerated erosion of bedrock medical ethics:

--The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its National Institute for Child and Human Development (NICHD),

--and the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM), which prides itself as the medical journal with the highest Impact Factor.

We compare and contrast the published evidence, against the specious arguments in defense of SUPPORT, by Dr. Francis Collins, NIH Director, Dr. Alan Guttmacher, NICHD Director, and Dr. Jeffrey Drazen, Editor of the NEJM, who vigorously defends SUPPORT, calling it, "a model of how to make medical progress."

Child Trends 5

Child Trends 5 is a new monthly publication from Child Trends. July 1, 2013 Charter schools are increasing in prevalence, and they continue to be the subject of great interest and debate in the education community. Charter schools are public schools, but unlike traditional public schools, they operate under a contract, or "charter," issued by a school district or other public authority, and they can be closed if they fail to meet the conditions of their contract. In communities where charter schools are available, children may attend a charter school instead of their regularly assigned public school. But what do we actually know about charter schools? Child Trends offers five insights based on its review of the most recent national data on charter schools.   Charter schools are on the rise From 2000 to 2011, the number of charter schools more than tripled (from 1,500 to 5,300) and the number of students served by charters quintupled (from about 340,000 to about 1.8 million), according to the U.S. Department of Education. Estimates from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools suggest that there were 6,000 charter schools, serving 2.3 million students, in 2012. Most charter schools are concentrated in cities -- 56 percent in 2011, compared with 25 percent of traditional public schools.The cities with the highest percentage of students enrolled in charter schools were New Orleans (76 percent), Detroit (41 percent), and Washington, D.C. (41 percent). Although the charter school student population represented just 3.6 percent of all students in 2011, it increased 11 percent from 2010 to 2011. Parents give charter schools high marks In 2007, charter school parents were more likely than traditional public school parents to report being very satisfied with their child's school (70 percent vs. 56 percent) and teachers (78 percent vs. 60 percent), according to U.S. Department of Education National Household Education Surveys Program data. Charter school parents were also more likely to trust the staff in their children's school (61 percent vs. 42 percent).    Charter school student bodies are more likely to be Black, Hispanic, low-income Compared with traditional public schools, charter school student populations were more likely to be mostly Black (25 percent vs. 10 percent) and mostly Hispanic (21 percent vs. 14 percent) in 2011. Nationally, one in three charter schools (33 percent) served a student population that was at least 75 percent low-income, compared with one in five traditional public schools (21 percent). Report cards for academic performance are mixed Experiments -- the gold standard of education research -- have shown that some charter schools outperform traditional public schools, while others underperform. Quasi-experimental studies, which attempt to control statistically for differences in student populations across school types, also show mixed results. A recent nationwide quasi-experimental study found that for reading gain scores on state assessments, 56 percent of charters scored no different from matched traditional public schools, 29 percent scored better, and 19 percent scored worse. For math, these statistics were 40 percent, 29 percent, and 31 percent, respectively.    We can learn from successful charter schools What should parents and students look for in a school? The best charter schools -- as measured by gains in math and reading -- are those where principals provide frequent feedback to teachers, teachers use data to drive instruction, students receive frequent tutoring and additional instructional time, and school staff members hold high expectations for all students' behavior and academic performance, according to a recent study of charter schools in New York City. This same study found that traditional measures, such as class size, per pupil expenditure, and teacher qualifications were not strongly linked to student learning.  Contributors: Daniel Princiotta, Renee Ryberg, Hannah Schmitz, and Laura Lippman 7/2013, Publication #2013-32 Child Trends 5 is supported by the Freddie Mac Foundation. ©2013 Child Trends.
