The consent form must invite, not ask, the participant to participate in the study. Ensure there is no language that may inadvertently coerce the participant (for example, "The success of this study relies on your participation.").
Please read this form carefully, take all the time you need, and ask any questions you may have. Consent is an ongoing process. During the research study, we will tell you about any significant finding that could affect your willingness to continue to participate in this study.
