Re: [Air-L] informed consent

In my blogging project I emailed out the information sheet and consent form, and participants emailed me back saying that they had read and understood both pages. That satisfied my ethics committee. M-H On 18/12/07 10:31 AM, "Erika Pearson" <erika.pearson@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> wrote:

I am curious as to people's experiences in gathering informed consent? Our university has a paper document that it requires participants to sign -- but I was wondering if any of you have any experience in alternate ways of gathering this consent (i.e.: email or electronic document, printing out and mailing back or even scanning in a signed copy of the document) and any problems you encountered.

any help would be much appreciated. cheers erika ~~
