What is required when a child research subject turns 18 during the study?

  1. The study ends

  2. Parental consent

  3. Re-consent from the now adult participant

  4. Approval from the IRB

The correct answer is: Re-consent from the now adult participant

When a child subject turns 18 during a study, it is necessary to obtain re-consent from the now adult participant. This is because the individual is now considered a legal adult and has the right to make their own decisions about their participation in the study. Option A is incorrect because studies should not abruptly end if a participant turns 18. Option B is incorrect because parental consent is no longer necessary once the individual turns 18. Option D is incorrect because IRB approval is required before the study begins, not during the study.
