Infant-only and caregiver-only consents
The mother may opt to allow her infant to be in the study, but not be a participant herself. If the mother agrees to allow the infant to be a participant, but not be a participant herself, then she will sign the infant-only consent. Similarly, if the legal guardian is not the caregiver or does not want to be a participant him/herself, but the legal guardian is willing to allow the infant to be a participant, the legal guardian will sign the infant-only consent. If a caregiver is not the legal guardian of the infant, but the caregiver is willing to answer questions about him/herself, the caregiver will sign the caregiver-only consent.
