How is the Informed Consent of the Volunteers given?

Before starting the research, the researcher must have received written approval / positive opinion from EC / MoH for the written informed consent form and other written information to be given to the volunteers.

-The written informed consent form and other written information to be given to the volunteers should be reviewed in the light of important new information about the approval of the volunteer. Any informed consent forms and written information that have been reviewed must have received written consent / positive opinion from EC / MoH before being used. The volunteer or the legal representative of the volunteer should be informed in a timely manner that new information is available that may affect the volunteer’s willingness to continue research. Sharing such information should be documented.

-Neither the investigator nor the research staff should force a subject to participate or continue improperly.

-Any language, including the written informed consent form, should not be used in any language that makes it seem as if the verbal and written information regarding the trial has waived or has waived the legal rights of the voluntary or volunteer’s legal representative or appears to have rescued or rescued the researcher, institution, sponsor or representatives from their negligence obligations.

-A person appointed by the researcher or investigator should inform the subject of the subject, or, if the volunteer is unable to provide informed consent, the legal representative of the volunteer about all relevant aspects of the research, including written information with which the EC / MoH gave approval / positive opinion.

-The language used in the oral and written information about the trial, including the informed consent form, should be a language of the volunteer or volunteer, or, if available, a daily language, as far as possible, in a way that the neutral witness can understand.

-In order to obtain informed consent, a person appointed by the investigator or investigator should allow the subject or legal representative of the subject a wide time to ask questions about the details of the trial and to decide whether to participate in the trial. All questions regarding the research should be answered at a level that satisfies the subject or the legal representative of the volunteer.p>

-Before participating in the voluntary study, the written informed consent form must be signed and dated by the volunteer or the legal representative of the volunteer and the person who made the informed consent interview.

-If the volunteer or the legal representative of the volunteer does not have a reading, a neutral witness must be present during the informed consent interview.
