Subjects' Rights

  • By completing the registration process you are agreeing to participate in a research study rather than doing the alternative assignment as your way to meet the research requirement.
  • However, this does not commit you to participate in the study that is assigned to you.
  • At the time the study is conducted, you will be given a consent form that describes the nature of the study.
  • You may decline to participate in the particular study upon reading this form if you choose.
  • In addition, once the study is underway, you have the right to cease participation in the study at any time without penalty should you feel uncomfortable with the study's procedures.
