Description

Informed consent is a standard part of research studies. As part of the IRB application process, researchers create a sample consent form that is submitted with their study protocol. This consent form will be used with participants to inform them of the study and, once the study has been explained, the participants will sign the informed consent form. As part of the process, the informed consent form needs to include a description of what the study involves, including risks and benefits, if the study is confidential, and how the study data is used.

The Unit 3 Assignment will include two parts; the consent form and the paper. Both parts should be presented in the following manner with a title, introduction, conclusion, and reference page. Submit the assignment as multiple attachments including the following:

  • 1-2 page paper in a Word document
  • Completed Informed Consent Form

Using the template provided, create a sample informed consent form to conduct a study of interest to you (you can create a study from a topic you have discussed in prior weeks, but this is not required). The goal is to create a draft of an informed consent form similar to that which a researcher would submit to an IRB board for review. Discuss in 1–2 pages how you would design this study to adhere to ethical guidelines. Be sure to include the five ethical principles and how your study will conform to them. Discuss one or two ethical issues that could arise during your study and how you would respond to these issues, as a researcher. Be sure to operationally define your variables and state what scales of measurement would be used, including description of why that scale was chosen.

Introduction
To adhere to ethical research guidelines, it is important to address the moral principles
that are required when performing undergraduate and masters dissertation research. The
underlying principles that guide one when choosing to adhere to an ethical requirement when
performing an analysis are based on the need to do good (beneficence) and do no harm (nonmalfeasance).
These moral principles require a researcher to adhere to a given code of conduct that
allows the research to be qualified as a real educational material worth of reference and forming
a professional opinion. It is important to note that it is not easy for a researcher to adhere to these
set principles, depending on the strategies the researcher chooses to adopt in finalizing the
research. These laws require the researcher to obtain informed consent, minimize the risk of
harm to participants, confidentiality, and anonymity of participants, avoid usage of deceptive
practices in the research, and provide the participants the right to withdrawal from being part of
their research.
Reduce Risk
The research should not in any way risk the participants. Should there be any possibility
for the participants to be harmed in any way, the researcher should offer a substantial
justification. In such a case the researcher should ensure how such injury will be reduced, have
the informed consent of the participants, and explain the detailed briefing given to the
participants explaining the cause of such harm. The main aim is to minimize the risk of damage.
