As parents and caregivers for people with Down syndrome, it can be difficult to know how to interpret research studies. How can we determine if an individual study is something that our loved one should participate in? We are joined on the podcast with Dr. Nicole White and Dr. Laura Cifra-Bean to help us interpret and understand the risks and benefits of research studies.

For more information on current research studies, go to www.clinicaltrials.gov.
