IRB and Consent

by Nick Montgomery last modified 2006-06-20 14:06

Have you attained consent from all your evaluation participants?


It is the evaluator’s responsibility to clearly communicate to participants and to make sure they understand:

  • the purpose of the study
  • what participation entails
  • any possible risks of participation (to their health or well-being)
  • how any information associated with them will be reported
  • confidentiality regarding access to the results of the evaluation.

To learn more about consent, the IRB process, and for sample consent forms, check out the MEERA article on Evaluation Consent and the IRB Process
