On Pediatric vs. Elderly Consent

Hi All,

Liz asked an interesting question last week about overlap in consent processes between children and older adults. I wasn't able to find specific consent forms referencing an overlap, but I did come across the attached editorial. Food for thought.

Tons more information about informed consent (including consent on behalf of adults with diminished decision-making capacity and children) is available at https://www.hhs.gov/ohrp/regulations-and-policy/guidance/faq/informed-consent/index.html (among other places).

Best,

Rebecca
