Informed Consent Delivery

The process of informed consent also involves the research investigator or assistants explaining any aspect of the study to the patient’s fullest understanding. This process takes time and can occur throughout the investigation, but initial understanding allows the patient to make an informed decision as to whether they wish to participate in the study.

Subjects should be given adequate time to read and understand the informed consent and given a copy of the informed consent. At any point during the research, they should be able to contact the primary researchers and research assistants and receive answers to questions they may have.
