C06 - [ON-DEMAND] Major League Research With Minor League Players: Studies With Children Outside the Classroom Setting

This session will be offered on-demand only for in-person SBER23 registrants, and PRIMR23/SBER23 Virtual Meeting registrants; there is no live interaction.

Research in SBER involving children often takes place in educational settings which provides boundaries of little risks or burden to the children involved. However, social/behavioral studies beyond the classroom, such as summer activities, autism, sex education, mental health, social issues (the list goes on and on) involving minors, brings additional contexts to consider. Study considerations are made more complex by a range of factors: obtaining parental permission (or considering the waiver of it), ensuring the use of age-appropriate materials, maintaining confidentiality, adhering to mandatory reporting guidelines, and establishing a fundamental trust between the adult researcher and the participants.
