    The study involved the development of a SIDCER enhance informed consent template and validated the template in various clinical studies.

  2. What information and the extent of information research participants need in informed consent forms: a multi-country survey
    The use of lengthy, detailed, and complex informed consent forms (ICFs) is of paramount concern in biomedical research as it may not truly promote the rights and interests fo research participants.
    The extent of information in ICFs has been the subject of debates for decades, the objective of this study was to determine the perspectives of research participants about the type and extent of information they need when they are invited to participate in biomedical research
