A therapist at a free university clinic treats elementary school children with behavior problems who are referred by a social service agency. She is also a doctoral candidate who proposes using data she has and will collect about the children for a case-based research project. Which of the following statements about parental permission is correct? The therapist creates her clients' records; therefore, she does not need parents' permission to use the information for research purposes. If it is the best interests of the community that the children participate in the study, parental permission is optional. The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children. The superintendent of the school system can give permission for children to be in the study; therefore, the therapist doesn't have to ask the parents for permission.

Answer:

The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children.

Explanation:

In a situation where a care provider becomes a researcher, in most cases both the child clients and their parents may not feel free to choose not to participate in the provider's study. A researcher who doubles as a care provider needs to clearly make the decision not to participate in a study, or to allow records to be used, not to affect the care provided in the future. Because the can access her clients' records as a clinician does not give her the entitlement to make use of information in the records for research purposes without parental permission and child assent. An authorised permission from the school to conduct the research does not replace the need for permission or assent. We can not also overlook the child's right to participate or not in any research, hence her consent is paramount.

Answer: The parents of the children might feel pressure to give permission to the therapist to use their children's data so that she will continue to provide services to their children.

Explanation: Even though permitting the therapist to use children's data isn't obligatory or overly bad. Granting the therapist the permission to use the data might be considered as a form of repaying and acknowledging her services. Parents might also be pressured to give permission as most parents could think that failure to grant her permission might also spell the end of her services to their children.
