The Parents Consent Letter For Conducting Research is an essential document required when conducting research involving minors in the Philippines. It serves as a legal safeguard ensuring compliance with Philippine regulations, particularly RA 7610 and RA 10173, while protecting both the researchers and the child participants. This document is mandatory for any research project involving subjects under 18 years of age and must be obtained before any data collection or interaction with minor participants can begin. The letter provides comprehensive information about the research project, including its purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, and confidentiality measures, allowing parents to make an informed decision about their child's participation. It also demonstrates compliance with research ethics guidelines established by Philippine authorities and institutional review boards.
