Description¶

Consent gathering is one of the six key decisions the review identifies, and the article's conclusions single it out as a practical step. It recommends "developing appropriate procedures for gathering parental permission and student assent" as part of ensuring high-quality research evidence in school-based trials. Because cluster randomized trials in schools involve both parents and students, researchers should plan consent procedures deliberately during trial design rather than addressing them ad hoc during implementation.

Design Implications¶
