Outline of Final Research Achievements

When children are considered for participation in research, domestic and international guidelines suggest that they should provide assent in addition to their legally authorized representative’s consent. Aiming to develop an instrument to assess children’s capacity for assent, we conducted a set of research and all of 68 children aged 4-6 years old participated. The information including illustrated booklet, instrument composed of a semi structured interview guide and a record form, assent form, and assent withdrawal form were all tailored to the child’s level of maturity and adopted to the kind of research.
It was clarified that there is a significant difference between 4 years and 5 years in capacity for assent. This difference was largely due to the difference in understanding and appreciation. Considering of the assent capacity only toward research with no intervention or invasion, it is suggested that 5-year-olds might have capacity for assent.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

日本において子どもを対象とする研究は数多く行われているが、今後長期縦断研究が実施される可能性があり、その実施にはこれまで医学研究のカテゴリーで行われてきた大規模出生コホート研究などの知見が活用されることが想定される。子どもに説明をすることが不適当である研究を除き、医学研究におけるインフォームド・アセントの概念とプロセスは、その意義を広く子ども対象研究全般に認識されることになると推測される。
本研究は、研究者が子ども対象研究を計画する際に、子どもの権利を尊重し、適切なインフォームド・アセント(あるいはディセント)の手続きを導入するための参考資料となる意義がある。
