The informed consent/assent process during enrollment in pediatric research is integral to protecting children from possible harm. Here we explored parents' perceptions about the informed consent/assent process in Jordan. Therefore, focus group interviews were conducted that focused on the importance of consent/assent, the quality of the information provided during consent process, and the parents' perceptions toward written/verbal informed consent. Content thematic analysis approach was adopted in the transcription and translation processes of the interviews. The majority of parents have an ethically acceptable understanding of many of the aspects related to consent/assent; however, some views were not consistent with the proper conduct of research. For example, some parents believed that informed consent is not required for questionnaire studies. Discrepancies were also noted regarding the appropriate age of a child's assent. Some parents would force their child to participate. Thus, the development of Jordanian, culturally sensitive pediatric research guidelines is required.
