Consent Checklists
The checklists on our website are tools to assist Investigators with drafting documents used to conduct a human subjects research study. They are also useful to REB Members who will review the same study documents. The Information and Consent Document must reflect the standards on the Checklists before submitting an application for REB review. You can use the checklists below to verify content and format of the Information and Consent Document for your study.
Checklists should not be included in the “document package” submitted for REB review.
Checklist Consent Document Content specifies the required Basic Elements of Informed Consent and Additional Elements of Informed Consent that may be required by specific study design as well as “best practice” information.
Checklist for Document Formatting specifies how to structure and design the written presentation of the information to be most useful to a prospective research subject.
