We are only asking parents to consent for their individual participation in the study, not their child’s. It is therefore up to each parent to decide if they individually want to take part and answer questions about their child.
We will, however, ask one parent to consent for their child’s administrative records to be linked with their survey responses, and consent for a saliva collection if applicable. We will only be asking the parent who completes the longer interview for these consents, so you may wish to discuss this with your child’s other parent.
