How can I improve informed consent in my research?

Improving informed consent involves clear communication, ensuring understanding, and respecting participants' autonomy. What specific area are you focusing on?

I want to make sure participants fully understand the risks involved.

You can use plain language, provide visual aids, and allow time for questions. Have you considered a follow-up discussion after the initial consent?

That's a good idea! What about the consent form itself?

The consent form should be concise, highlight key points, and avoid jargon. You might also include a summary at the beginning.

Should I include a section on data privacy?

Absolutely! Participants should know how their data will be used, stored, and protected. Transparency builds trust.
