What is Informed Consent?

Informed consent is a document that you are asked to read and sign that explains:

Who can be in a study?

Each study has different requirements for participants such as age, gender, or medical condition. The research team will look at your medical history and study requirements to find out if you are eligible. Most studies involve more tests and visits than you would normally have for an illness or condition. There is no cost to participate, in fact you get paid at each study visit.

Why participate?
