Special considerations are necessary for vulnerable subjects because these individuals often require assistance to understand information related to the study or the implications of their participation. Vulnerable populations may include children, individuals with cognitive impairments, those with significant health issues, or marginalized groups who may not fully grasp complex concepts presented in research.

This lack of understanding can lead to difficulties in obtaining informed consent, which is crucial for ethical research practices. Ensuring that these individuals clearly understand the study, their rights, and potential risks and benefits is essential for protecting their autonomy and well-being. Therefore, it becomes imperative for researchers and healthcare providers to communicate information in a clear, accessible manner, often tailoring their approaches to accommodate the needs of these vulnerable groups. This ensures that participants are making informed choices regarding their involvement in the research.
