Informed consent is typically obtained through a written document that participants sign after discussing the study with the researchers. This process often includes:
Discussion: A face-to-face meeting where researchers explain the study, answer questions, and ensure understanding. Documentation: A written consent form that summarizes the information discussed and includes the participant’s signature. Continuous Process: Informed consent is not a one-time event but a continuous process throughout the study, allowing for periodic re-evaluation and re-consent if necessary.
