What criteria should the IRB consider when determining assent requirements for children in research studies?

  1. The cost of research

  2. The nature of the research and child's age/status

  3. The popularity of the study

  4. The duration of the study

The correct answer is: The nature of the research and child's age/status

When determining assent requirements for children in research studies, the IRB should consider the nature of the research and the child's age or status. This is because the age and maturity level of a child can greatly impact their ability to understand and consent to participating in the study. Additionally, the nature of the research should be carefully evaluated to determine if it is appropriate and beneficial for a child to be involved. The cost of research, popularity of the study, and duration of the study may also be important factors to consider, but they should not be the primary criteria for determining assent requirements for children.
