英文摘要	Ethical and legal considerations require that human research subjects who provide certain kinds of information be able to provide informed consent when doing so. Obtaining consent from older people and from people with low levels of literacy or limited language fluency can pose challenges. For field trials, researchers evaluating the impact of a pension program in Yucatan sought to develop an informed-consent procedure that was culturally sensitive and complied with Mexican norms and standards and with U.S. government and RAND Corporation ethical standards for conducting research with human subjects. This report documents the process the research team developed to obtain informed consent from those choosing to participate in the research; provides background on the development of norms and regulations for conducting research involving human subjects in the United States and Mexico; and reviews how the team developed and tested a culturally sensitive approach for collecting informed consent among the elderly in Yucatan, including testing of methods and subsequent adaptations. Finally, it reviews the implications of the findings for similar future research efforts.
