The WHO is conducting a global research prioritization exercise to identify the top intervention research questions for child health (0-9 years).
While some exercise have been conducted for specific illnesses (e.g. pneumonia) or sub-populations (e.g. newborns), there is no consensus on a research agenda to improve child survival and health—particularly one that reflects the priorities of national health authorities and communities. The goal of this effort is to guide future research funding and collaboration efforts to the benefit of all children.
We are asking for your help to:
- Complete the survey (links below) and share up to three priority research questions related to interventions that would improve survival, health or development outcomes for newborns, infants, and children over the next decade.
- Forward this email to relevant individuals, groups, or networks in the field of child health, and,
- Work with national colleagues and communities to gain their inputs.
You can access the survey through the WHO web page here.
