Write job-related and nondiscriminatory questions Avoid any questions that are not directly related to the essential functions of the position or that may be construed as discriminatory In general, it is inappropriate to ask questions about an individual s race, color, religion, sex, or national or ethnic origin (Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), their age (Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967), or disability status (Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990), as well as their marital status, sexual orientation, or parenting responsibilities.

When no such person is available, a doctor who is primarily responsible for the medical treatment provided to the child, and is not connected to the clinical trial, can act as a professional representative. It is possible, however, that it would still be unlawful if the research were not expected to benefit the child in question.
