Crush: A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Impact of a Mobile Health App on Adolescent Sexual Health
2023, Journal of Adolescent HealthCitation Excerpt :Eligible participants consented by reading and digitally signing a consent form. To enhance youth responses and protect their privacy, no parental consent was required, consistent with recommendations from national entities [20,21]. We developed a youth-informed SRH tool (Crush) that is medically-accurate, grounded in behavior change theory, and relevant and appealing to end users.
Research Participation of Minor Adolescents in Foster Care
2021, Journal of Pediatric and Adolescent GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Hence, establishing guidelines for best practices would aid institutional review boards and investigators in their decision-making about appropriate consent processes. Minimal-risk research focusing on youth in foster care should be allowed to be conducted with a waiver of parental permission as is suggested for all adolescents.5,84 For all adolescents, certain sensitive behaviors or vulnerable groups deserve the protection to participate in research confidentially, such as research on the LGBTQ population (vulnerable groups)85 or research on adolescent substance use (sensitive behavior).86
Emotion regulation and student engagement: Age and gender differences during adolescence
2021, International Journal of Educational ResearchCitation Excerpt :Adolescence begins with the typical changes of puberty, that can start around the age of 10, and typically ends when individuals assume adult roles and responsibilities, which, in Western society, may occur around the age of 24 years (Hall, 1904; Sawyer et al., 2018). To this expanded definition of adolescence, we also included 25-year-olds in agreement with other authors (Curtis, 2015; Riediger & Klipker, 2014; Society of Adolescent Medicine (SAM), 1995), since the second critical period of neurodevelopment ends with the completion of cortical organisation around 25 years of age (Chung & Hudziak, 2017) and because, in the Portuguese financial and social security systems, considers 25-year-olds as "dependents". In the educational setting, a child moving through adolescence and emerging adulthood may encounter many varied and different institutions.
Ethical practices in community-based research in non-suicidal self-injury: A systematic review
2017, Asian Journal of PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :The practice of seeking informed consent from participants is drawn from the principle of respect for persons, which highlights the autonomy of individuals, and encourages providing special protection for those with diminished autonomy. With adolescents, ‘respect for persons’ has the added layer of balancing respect for the emerging capacity of an adolescent for independent decision-making with the need for continued special protections, where necessary (Santelli et al., 2003). The World Health Organisation supported research follows the Convention on the Rights of the Child where child means “every human being below the age of eighteen years, unless under the law applicable to the child, majority is attained earlier” (United Nations General Assembly, 1999).
