Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies with children require consent from a parent or guardian because children are not able to legally give informed consent to participate in research. Assent from the child is also required in addition to parental consent to ensure that the child understands what their participation in the research entails. While full committee IRB review is often necessary for studies involving vulnerable populations, such as children, it is not specific to studies with children.
