Informed Consent What Should You Expect?

Informed consent targets on letting the person know the adequate information to take an informed decision about his/her participation in the clinical trial.

Having the knowledge about hoe informed consent would help the volunteers in participation of the medical trial risk free. In the process of signing the informed consent session the experts should arrange the meeting with the volunteers in order to explain them in detail about the informed consent. Panel of the meeting includes your researcher, nurse, social worker, your family member (if insisted by you). One of the family members will undergo the process of informed consent if the participant is the minor.  As the participant you will be novice to the technical jargon hence should be given ample time to understand the procedure.

Assessments should made by the experts to know your understanding about the medical document. You should be provided an opportunity to seek the expert help to get your doubts clarified. Last but not the least, in fact the most; the volunteer should have an ongoing updating about the new information that could affect your health, welfare, or willingness to remain in the study
