A therapist at a free university clinic treats elementary school children with behavior problems who are referred by a social service agency. She is also a doctoral candidate who proposes using data she has and will collect about the children for a case-based research project. Which of the following statements about parental permission is correct? The therapist creates her clients' records; therefore, she does not need parents' permission to use the information for research purposes. If it is the best interests of the community that the children participate in the study, parental permission is optional. The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children. The superintendent of the school system can give permission for children to be in the study; therefore, the therapist doesn't have to ask the parents for permission.
Question
A therapist at a free university clinic treats elementary school children with behavior problems who are referred by a social service agency. She is also a doctoral candidate who proposes using data she has and will collect about the children for a case-based research project. Which of the following statements about parental permission is correct? The therapist creates her clients' records; therefore, she does not need parents' permission to use the information for research purposes. If it is the best interests of the community that the children participate in the study, parental permission is optional. The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children. The superintendent of the school system can give permission for children to be in the study; therefore, the therapist doesn't have to ask the parents for permission.
Solution
The most correct statement about parental permission in this scenario is: "The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children."
This is because, in most research involving minors, parental consent is required. Even though the therapist is creating the records, she cannot use the information for research without parental consent. The best interests of the community or the permission of the superintendent do not override the need for parental consent. However, there is a potential ethical issue here, as the parents might feel coerced into giving consent so that their children can continue receiving therapy.
