Informed Assent Recall Among Adolescents in Substance Use Disorder Treatment Research.

CONCLUSION: Those collecting assent should be aware that heavily-using males involved in the criminal justice system are prone to make more errors, and should use procedures such as assent quizzes to enhance their understanding of study procedures. Future research should investigate the impact of motivation and consider using experimental designs to test adolescent recall of study procedures under various assenting conditions.
