Notes to Researchers:
1. Please note that this is a template developed by the WHO ERC to assist the
Principal Investigator in the design of their informed consent forms (ICF). It is
important that Principal Investigators adapt their own ICFs to the outline and
requirements of their particular study. The logo of the Institution must be used on
the ICF and not the WHO logo.
2. The informed consent form consists of two parts: the information sheet and the
consent certificate.
3. Do not be concerned by the length of this template. It is long only because it
contains guidance and explanations which are for you and which you will not
include in the informed consent forms that you develop and provide to participants
in your research.
4. This template includes examples of key questions that may be asked at the end of
each section, that could ensure the understanding of the information being provided,
especially if the research study is complex. These are just examples, and
suggestions, and the investigators will have to modify the questions depending
upon their study.
5. In this template:
 square brackets indicate where specific information is to be inserted
 bold lettering indicates sections or wording which should be included
 standard lettering is used for explanations to researchers only and must not
be included in your consent forms. The explanation is provided in black, and
examples are provided in red in italics. Suggested questions to elucidate
understanding are given in black in italics.
