Assignment:
Imagine you are part of a medical research team, and are tasked with gaining informed consent from potential participants. The study will seek to test an experimental drug with patients suffering from late-stage leukemia. The sample will be divided into a control group and the experimental group. Participants in the control group will be given a placebo, which could increase the progression of their disease. The sample will be composed of children.
- Discuss how you would go about seeking the consent of participants.
- What questions would you expect from their parents/guardians?
- How much information should you share with the children?
- Should this type of study involve children, given the risks of speeding the progression of the disease?
Your answer must be typed, double-spaced, Times New Roman font (size 12), one-inch margins on all sides, APA format.
