This webinar on informed consent will review the regulatory requirements to ensure that legally-effective consent is obtained for enrollment of subjects in human research regulated by the Department of Health and Humans Services (HHS) and/or the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You will gain an understanding of not only the basic requirements, but also several challenging areas to ensure legally-effective consent.
How can you improve comprehension of your informed consent forms?
Do you appropriately enroll participants who are not English-speaking or who lack capacity?
Do you appropriately obtain permission from parents for the enrollment of children based on the risk level of a study?
Are you appropriately documenting the consent process?
If you do not know the answer to one or more of these questions, attending this 90 minute webinar will help you to be better informed about you can ensure legally-effective consent.
This session will briefly review the elements of informed consent required by U.S. regulations. Legally-effective consent is not defined by the federal regulations. Attendees will learn how to increase comprehension of their consent forms, enhance the consent process, and ensure legally effective consent. We will explore several challenges to obtaining legally-effective consent and solutions to appropriately address these challenges. Finally, some innovations and technological solutions to further enhance legally-effective consent will be explored.
