This workshop covers the 5 Ws of obtaining truly informed consent. It includes What should be covered through an examination of the correspondence between the HRP-503 Protocol Template and HRP-502 Consent Template, Who should be involved in the process, When and Where different parts of the consent process should take place, and hoW to conduct the consent process so that understanding and free choice are achieved. Why each of the above-mentioned areas are important will also be discussed.
Finally, a guide for systematically developing an Informed Consent Process covering the above factors will be presented. A team exercise asking each group to share its analysis of a unique scenario involving a difficulty in achieving truly informed consent will conclude the workshop.
