Informed consent for neonatal Trials: practical points to consider and a checklist
Published on 12/02/2021
Obtaining informed consent for neonatal research is challenging. This was confirmed in a survey of paediatric researchers in the context of the PedCRIN project. Therefore, a tool was developed which is described in this paper. The tool is providing background information on specific aspects of consent for neonatal trials. A check list of points to consider was developed which may be used by researchers preparing for informed consent.
