Pediatric trials have inherent challenges not seen in adult clinical trials. Researchers must fulfill the consent dyad, first educating both parent and child at their respective levels of understanding, and then obtaining permission from the parent and assent from the child regarding his or her participation in the trial. Many researchers find it difficult to prepare educational materials for their pediatric subjects. These materials must effectively teach children at an age-appropriate level. If the instruction level is too high, comprehension suffers. If the level is too low, the pediatric subject loses interest.
Clinaero is the industry leader in creating informed permission and pediatric assent educational content. Our interactive sessions standardize the consent/assent process, providing parents and children with the information they need to make an informed decision. Clinaero multimedia presentations are proven to reduce anxiety?often seen in pediatric subjects?and improve comprehension. Both of these effects lead to more successful recruitment. Ultimately, both the parent and child go through a more effective and enjoyable informed consent process. |
