 Hello friends. In this video, we are going to discuss about consent form in research. In this video, I am going to discuss about why consent form is important and also parts of consent form which will be helpful for framing consent form when you are doing research. Before going to the parts of the consent form, let me make you clear why consent form is necessary. Informed consent form is essential in research as it ensures individual autonomy. It is the written direct proof of researchers respecting the right of the participants. Secondly, we need consent form for legal purposes. Institutions will approve researchers only when consent form is properly taken. In this presentation, we have 10 parts of consent form. First is the introduction. Under introduction, we need to mention about the title of the research, names of the researchers who are involved in the research and name of the department and school or institution performing the research. All needs to be mentioned in the introduction section. Like this, we need a head introduction heading under which research title and their credentials should be given. Second section is the research description where we explain about the study methodology, objectives, purpose, procedure, risks, benefits and compensation if any adverse events and there are any alternatives possible. All will be described in the research description. This will be given as purpose, procedures, risks, benefits, headings. You can add these research description headings as per your needs. Then in consent form, we need to ensure that the information is properly comprehended by the participants. For that, we need to ensure that the consent form is explained and the signature is taken based on the complete understanding after explaining the consent form in patient's own language. Then we need to ensure the competency to make decisions, whether the research participants are competent to make own decisions. Then we need to ensure the volunteerism for a decision and we need to intimate that withdrawal from study or the intervention is possible at any point of the research and also we need to explain about the confidentiality of the information which we collect from the research. So these are some of the headings based on our needs. We need to have confidentiality, volunteerness of the participation, withdrawal can be possible at any point of time need to be mentioned in case if the study continues for a long period or any intervention is provided. Then towards the end, we should have the contact information that is the contact numbers, email IDs of the key researchers at least two researchers contact information should be given. Then followed by the statement of consent where they actually after understanding the research description, the study participants give the statement of consent in this segment and finally the signatures. The research participant will give the valid signature here with the date present and remember this is the consent form. This has this 10 parts which I have mentioned here and we need to provide a patient information sheet which is different from the consent form. Consent form is for the researcher and patient information sheet is for the patient. So we need to provide with the same information in the language comfortable for the participants that need to be handed over to the participant so that all these contact details and other information regarding the research will be provided with them. So to sum up consent is essential for ethical, legal and institutional purposes and we have introduction research description in it and while preparing the parts of the consent we should ensure the comprehension of the information by the participant competency to make decision to participate and volunteerness should be ensured we need to intimate withdrawal from the study is possible any time then confidentiality of the information should be ensured then consent should have contact information, state form of consent and signatures.
