In research involving minors or individuals who are not able to give legal consent, it is standard practice to obtain informed consent from their legal guardians and assent from the participants themselves. Assent is an agreement from the participant to partake in the study, acknowledging they understand the research as much as possible, while informed consent is a legal agreement from the guardian who has the authority to give consent on behalf of the participant.
