How does informed consent apply
to children?
 Children do not have the decision-making capacity to provide
informed consent.
 Since Therefore, parents or other surrogate decision-makers may
give informed permission for diagnosis and treatment of a child,
preferably with the assent of the child whenever possible.
 Other disagreements in care may result in court orders that
specify what treatment should occur (for example, blood
transfusions), or in the court-ordered appointment of a guardian
to make medical decisions for the child.
 Depending on the type of research, the IRB may make provisions
for assent of children
Assent

failure to object should not, absent affirmative agreement, be
construed as assent.

representative on the IRB if a
