ESSAYBID ANSWER

ANS: C
A pilot study is not required for research solely on the basis that children are the subjects. The necessity of conducting a pilot study is based on whether or not the tools used have established reliability and validity or if there are questions regarding the methods used to guide the study.
Assent is the child’s agreement to participate in the study and is needed.
Informed consent is required for all research with human subjects regardless of the subjects’ age.
Permission is needed from the parents, as well as any agency involved, such as a school, if the child will be allowed to participate.
