How to Ensure Informed Consent is Obtained Properly?
Researchers must follow several steps to ensure informed consent is obtained appropriately:
Provide Clear Information: Use simple, non-technical language to explain the study's details. Assess Understanding: Confirm that participants fully understand the information provided. Document Consent: Obtain written consent, and in some cases, verbal consent may be recorded. Ongoing Consent: Ensure that consent is an ongoing process and update participants with any new information.
