The result: people understand what will happen, their rights, and how you use their data, and you have defensible proof of consent.
Must Ask Simple Informed Consent Questions
- Do you understand the purpose, what will happen, and how long it will take?
This confirms comprehension before you ask for consent. It reduces confusion and helps you tailor any follow-up explanations.
- Do you understand the possible risks, discomforts, and benefits?
Stating risks and benefits up front leads to informed choices. It also documents that you discussed potential downsides and expected value.
- Is your participation voluntary, and can you withdraw at any time without penalty?
Reminding people they can stop at any time prevents pressure and builds trust. It improves participation because people feel in control.
- Do you agree to how your information will be collected, stored, shared, and kept confidential?
This guards privacy and clarifies limits on use, storage, and sharing. If you need a dedicated policy, pair your form with the Counseling confidentiality form.
- Do you consent to take part and confirm with your signature and date?
A clear yes plus a signature creates a valid record. It protects both parties and speeds audits or dispute resolution.
