Who determines the need for consent from a child, mother, and/or father in research studies?

  1. The child

  2. The parents

  3. The federal government

  4. IRB

The correct answer is: IRB

The IRB, or Institutional Review Board, determines the need for consent from a child, mother, and/or father in research studies. This is because IRBs are responsible for ensuring the ethical treatment of human participants in research studies. While it is important for the parents or legal guardians of a child to give informed consent, the IRB ultimately makes the final decision based on the potential risks and benefits of the study. The federal government may also have regulations in place regarding consent for research studies, but it is the IRB that ultimately determines the need for consent in a specific study. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect.
