Mark ... I¹m very interested in receiving the ³before² and ³after² examples
of consent form language ... I review those forms for an IRB.

Thanks,

Jane

One problem with consent forms is terrible sentence construction. I have a
recent 2-page publication that gives some "before" and "after" examples of
consent form language: Hochhauser, M. (2008) Too Many Unnecessary Words =
Confusing Consent Forms. SoCRA Source: A Publication of the Society of
Clinical Research Associates, 56, 58-59.
 
If anyone's interested, email me off list and I'll be happy to send you a
pdf version.
