Furthermore, Public Citizen’s review of the sample informed consent/parental permission form for the study reveals that the description of the risks and benefits of the research failed to satisfy the requirements of HHS regulations regarding informed consent for research.https://www.citizen.org/wp-content/uploads/public_citizen_shared_link.jpg1200628
