Amplifying Children’s Voices

Dr. Sarah Mead Jasperse is leading a team of scientists are researching key ethical practices within early childhood researchers. The end goal of this project is to establish evidence-based and government-sanctioned guidelines for researchers working with children.

A passion for ethical child research

This project includes a collection of nine studies including two comprehensive surveys on research assent addressed to child researchers worldwide.

An array of resources

Our project will provide practical deliverables to parents, researchers, policy decision-makers and other stakeholders.

Deliverables

  • Deliverables will include publicly available training materials and guidelines for researchers.

Publications

  • One or more journal articles will be published from each of the project studies.

“Over half of behavioral scientists admit to having obtained assent from children in a way that they considered not meaningful.”
