Consent Form Template (Expedited Review – Minimal Risk)

Thank you for your time and patience!

Witness:

Whenever possible, the witness to the participant’s signature should be a person who is independent of

the research team (e.g. – a relative or family member of the potential participant). When this is not

possible, the witness to the participant’s signature may be a member of the research team that is present

when the participant’s signature is obtained. The signature of this individual indicates only that they were

present to witness the signature of the participant; not the entire consent process.

Legally Accepted Representative:

Legally Accepted Representative field should be included only if required. You must have informed the

REB as to why it is necessary to use the Legally Accepted Representative in the consenting process.

Translator:

If the consent discussion for all potential participants will be conducted in English, the subsection related

to translation is not required. If some potential participants may have the consent discussion conducted in

a language other than English, include the relevant subsection, and consult our Consent Form Guidelines

for further guidance regarding the use of translation.
