Abstract: The participation of youth in research is conditional on obtaining their informed consent. When research involves youth below the age of 18 it is a well-established ethical principle to also secure parental consent as part of the research process.1 While the term “youth” is a fluid concept, as explained in the introduction of this volume, the focus in this chapter is on youth aged between 15 to 18 years.
