	Assent Form Preparation
		Assent must be obtained from the children who participate in research unless they are not capable of understanding what is being asked of them.
		Assent may be waived when an intervention holds out the prospect of direct benefit that is available only in the context of the research.
		The language and syntax of the assent form need to be geared to the cognitive level of the children being asked to participate in the research study.

		ASSENT ensures that your programs adhere to the defined standard, thereby enabling a reduction in software development and maintenance costs, as well as in the time spent on code inspections.
		ASSENT uses a static program flow analysis framework, and can easily be configured for specific metrics.
		With ASSENT, a standards-checking tool is built by simply specifying the rules of the standard in a high-level specification language.

	Newman Reader - Grammar of Assent - Chapter 2
		Assent I have described to be a mental assertion; in its very nature then it is of the mind, and not of the lips.
		We can assert without assenting; assent is more than assertion just by this much, that it is accompanied by some apprehension {14} of the matter asserted.
		It appears then, that, in assenting to propositions, an apprehension in some sense of their terms is not only necessary to assent, as such, but also gives a distinct character to its acts.

	Section 2, Form D [Assent Form]
		As with the informed consent process, the assent process should also allow for an exchange of information between the investigator and the subject, and afford ample opportunity for the subject to ask questions and consider whether or not to participate in the study.
		Documentation of assent is required for subjects aged 12-17, unless the requirement is waived by the IRB.
		For assent procedures involving enrollment of children in research, the informed consent template found in Section 2, Form C of the IRB application can be used as a guide for development of the parental permission form.

	Informed Consent, Parental Permission, and Assent in Pediatric Practice
		Just as is the case with informed consent, the emphasis on obtaining assent should be on the interactive process in which information and values are shared and joint decisions are made.
		A patient's reluctance or refusal to assent should also carry considerable weight when the proposed intervention is not essential to his or her welfare and/or can be deferred without substantial risk.
		Medical personnel should respect the wishes of patients who withhold or temporarily refuse assent in order to gain a better understanding of their situation or to come to terms with fears or other concerns regarding proposed care.

	Consent and Assent - WVU IRB Guidelines - Chapter IV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Assent is an agreement by an individual who is unable to give legally valid informed consent to participate in research.
		When potential research subjects are not competent to give legally valid informed consent, respect for a person's autonomy mandates that the investigator obtain their voluntary assent to participate, in addition to obtaining the informed consent of a parent, guardian, or other legally authorized representative.
		Subjects manifest their "assent" to participate by signing an assent form which, like the consent form, explains the nature of the research project, the nature of the subjects’ participation, and the nature of the risks and benefits involved.

		Like consent, assent is supposed to be "informed" -- that is, subjects should know what they are getting into, and what effects their participation is likely to have.
		Since assent forms can be used with a very wide range of people, they should be written to suit the people with whom they are to be used.

	Children's Assent to Clinical Trial Participation - National Cancer Institute
		If you are considering enrolling your child in a clinical trial, this guide should help you better understand the concept of "assent" (a child's agreement to participate) as well as some of the larger issues surrounding young people's participation in trials.
		If you are interested in learning more about the issue of children's participation in clinical trials, the National Library of Medicine has compiled a bibliography of resources on clinical research that also includes a section devoted to children's issues.
		Encouraging their involvement in decision-making is done out of respect for their rights as individuals and the desire to give them a sense of ownership in what happens during the trial.

	Assent
		Minors who give their assent to participate in research must be approached for consent when they reach the age of majority, generally age 18.
		Cognitively Impaired: If a potential participant is cognitively impaired and judged to be incapable of giving consent, the potential participant must still be asked and agree to participate in the study even though he or she may not fully understand its purpose, benefits, and risks - unless the impairment completely precludes any meaningful communication.
		It is generally a good idea to approach individuals who assented to participate in research as a minor once they reach the age of majority for either continued participation in the study or continuation of long-term follow-up.

	Manifestation of Assent \| Linux Journal
		There must be some clear manifestation of assent by the "obligee" (i.e., the obligated party) that can be presented as evidence to show that a contract was actually formed between the parties.
		I finally realized yesterday, after engaging in a particularly acrimonious debate on this topic with some friends of mine, that one reason I'm being flamed is because I keep referring to this issue as the "click-wrap notice." I'm confusing the technology with the legal principle, and the terminology is earning me battles I don't need.
		As far as the manifestation of assent goes, engineering your software so that it uses someone else's software should be at least as significant as clicking through a web form.

	Advance Planning, Surrogate Decision Making, and Assent or Objection (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		For those whose decisionmaking capacity is impaired, truly informed consent may not be achievable but it remains the standard against which all efforts to obtain the ethical participation of individuals in research must be judged.
		These mechanisms are: (1) the use of assent or the lack of objection; (2) the use of advance planning and surrogate decision making; and (3) the use of legally authorized representatives (LARs).
		Recent commentary generally supports a requirement for subject assent or, at a minimum, lack of objection, except in the unusual case when research participation offers the subject the possibility of direct medical benefits not otherwise obtainable in the clinical setting.

		In determining whether children are capable of assenting, the IRB shall take into account the ages, maturity, and psychological state of the children involved.
