_____________________________________________________________________
The American Academy of Pediatrics Institutional Review Board (AAP IRB) reviewed
and determined, as authorized by 45 CFR 46.101, that the above-named protocol is
exempt from federal regulations and meets at least one of the federal exemption
categories. A copy of the IRB reviewer approval sheet is attached.
Exempt status does not exempt investigators from performing ethical research nor do they
allow investigators to abdicate the responsibility to act in the public good.
If questions arise about whether planned changes to the above-named protocol might
make the study nonexempt human subjects research, please contact me (847-434-4075 or
ekelly@aap.org).
Best wishes for a successful study,
