Informed consent
Question:
I'm starting a new community-based project. How can I make sure that I'm getting informed consent from the people who will be participating in this project?
Discussion:
A recent discussion about informed consent took place on the RNLD list (September 2010).
Readings:
Here are some recent publications on this topic:
