Research Disclosures

Thoughtful House Center for Children provides support and conducts business in a manner that carefully considers the potential for perceived or actual conflicts of interest. Existing or potential conflicts of interest are disclosed so that appropriate consideration and action may be taken to insure that such conflict does not inappropriately influence important decisions. Relationships with clinical, research, and business entities (e.g., other healthcare organizations, providers, vendors, and educational institutions) are reviewed to determine if a conflict of interest exists; any conflicts are addressed when they arise.

This policy is consistent with Thoughtful House’s overall commitment to act with integrity in all of our activities, provide accurate information, and to treat the children and their families, our staff, collaborators, volunteers, and the community we serve with respect.
