F15 - Research with Minors: Balancing Autonomy and Protection

RECORDING NOTE: There was a technical issue with the recording file for this session. We're working on getting a replacement file loaded. Please check back.

This session will describe the importance of, and strategies for, balancing autonomy and protection when conducting research with minors. The pros and cons of paternalism when conducting research with children and minor adolescents will be presented along with relevant models for maximizing protection while respecting autonomy, particularly for research participants who are emerging into adulthood. The intersection of age and other risk categories (e.g., homelessness, LGBTQIA+) will be discussed.
