When minors participate in a research study they must provide assent, whereas their parents or legal guardians would provide the official informed consent. How would you obtain assent from a young child? How would this differ from how you would obtain assent from an older child or an adolescent?
What will be an ideal response?
For a young child, obtaining assent could be as simple as asking a few basic questions, such as "would you like to color with me?" or "can I ask you a few questions?" Since older children and adolescents are better able to communicate and understand complex decisions, the researcher should provide more information in order to gain more comprehensive consent.
