What is Informed Consent?
By Joel Ross | January 11, 2008
Informed consent is a process during which prospective participants and caregivers are told all of the details about the study and receive answers to their questions about how the study will be conducted. Prospective participants and their caregiver or legally authorized representative then sign a written agreement acknowledging that they have been fully informed of the nature of the research: Its objectives, risks, benefits and procedures.
Participants in a clinical research study have certain rights before the study begins and while it is in progress.
Participants may:
- Decline participation or withdraw from the study at any time without prejudice or loss of future treatment.
- Ask questions at any time about the study or investigational medication.
- Receive reimbursement for travel expenses Participants are entitled to an explanation of any risks, benefits or alternative treatments available, plus any new findings made during the study that might affect their willingness to continue as a participant
