Researchers often neglect adolescents' willingness to participate in research. The granting of permission by parents is sometimes not in accordance with the unwillingness of adolescents. Relational ethics is the right approach to overcome inconsistencies between legal and ethical agreements in granting parental permission and adolescent's assent. This is because relational ethics is based on building relationships among many parties. The focus of this case study is to improve understanding of the assent of adolescents through intensive study of research conflict, reinforced using existing research and to understand how relational ethics can be used as an approach in decision-making, especially in conflicts between parental permission and assent from adolescents.

Compared to the general population of Hawai'i, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (NHPI) shoulder a disproportionately high risk for obesity-related cardiometabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. The gut microbiome is an area of rapid research interest for its role in regulating adjacent metabolic pathways, offering novel opportunities to better understand the etiology of these health disparities. Obesity and the gut microbiome are influenced by regional, racial-ethnic, and community-specific factors, limiting the generalizability of current literature for understudied populations.
