Advocacy for children is a fundamental pediatric concern and activity. Notwithstanding achievements for children to date, pediatrics can do more in the twenty-first century to advocate for children and promote research on ways in which advocacy for children can be improved. Evidence-based advocacy should take many directions including legislation, system change in local and state agencies such as social services and health departments, financial assistance including Medicaid, evidence provided to courts at trial and on appeal through "friend of the court" participation, family guidance, public education, and the promotion of pediatric law and bioethics.
为儿童发声是儿科领域的一项基本关切和活动。尽管迄今为止在儿童问题上已取得诸多成就，但在21世纪，儿科学在为儿童发声以及推动关于如何改进儿童权益倡导方式的研究方面仍大有可为。基于证据的倡导应涵盖多个方向，包括立法、地方和州级机构（如社会服务部门和卫生部门）的制度变革、包括医疗补助在内的财政援助、通过“法院之友”参与在审判和上诉时向法庭提供证据、家庭指导、公众教育以及促进儿科法律和生物伦理学发展。
