How do I achieve “informed consent” when patients cannot read or speak English?
Due to language and literacy barriers, you will be unable to achieve informed consent from research subjects by written signature. Thus, you will need to obtain verbal informed consent. You can either use an interpreter or a tape recorder to explain the study and ask for consent from potential participants.
