IACAPAP Special Interest Group Webinar on International Pediatric Psychopharmacology
Join the launch webinar of the IACAPAP International Pediatric Psychopharmacology Special Interest Group (IPP SIG) — a new global forum for sharing resources, exchanging best practices, and fostering collaboration among child and adolescent psychiatrists and allied mental health professionals.
We’ll explore:
• How the GRADE approach can help us critically appraise and apply pediatric psychopharmacology evidence.
• Compare national and regional prescribing practices with best evidence, exploring why differences exist.
• Brainstorm strategies for bridging gaps between research and real-world practice worldwide at the clinician and advocacy/policy levels.
• Identify opportunities for collaborative scholarship, networking, and resource sharing.
Be part of a vibrant, bidirectional learning community working toward equitable, evidence-based care for all children and adolescents.
