Informed Consent:
Some tricky situations
•What if my participants are a protected class (children or not literate)?
•You should use the form for “high risk populations” for anyone where proficiency is an issue
–You must get written consent from guardians of minor children
–You must ALSO get written consent from children who are literate – see special form
–You must ALSO oral consent from children not literate
•You must get (and record) oral consent from adult participants who are not literate
