Minor Participation
In most cases, minors are not allowed to participate in research without parental permission. Surveys involving minors are not exempt under Subpart D except when the survey qualifies as normal educational practice. Thus in order to include minors in an online study, you need to describe a mechanism for obtaining consent from parents and assent from the minor. If your study does not include minors, you need to consider the possibility that a minor might access your online survey and participate without parental permission. For studies that involve sensitive subjects, you should devise ways to deter minors from participating, though the Board may decide that your survey is not appropriate for the Internet.
