Integrating Pediatric Pharmacogenomic Testing Into the Canadian Health Care System

Adverse Drug Reaction (ADR)

This project addresses the problem of adverse drug reactions in the three most frequently prescribed therapeutic classes of drugs in children: antibiotics, analgesics, and mental health medications.

We will conduct pilot testing of a pharmacogenomic testing panel and study how the tests and generated test results are utilized and understood by physicians, pharmacists, patients and their families.
