How is consent obtained from a non-English speaking subject?
WIRB requires that non-English speaking subjects sign a WIRB-approved translated consent form. An ad hoc oral translation of the consent form is not acceptable. WIRB’s Translations department can arrange to have a WIRB-approved consent form or subject material translated into any language, or the site/sponsor can submit to WIRB a translated document along with a certification statement, signed by a certified translator for verification and approval. Specific submission requirements may be obtained from the WIRB Translations department.
