Add informed consent to an AI moderated study

To take part in your Dscout study, you can require participants to sign custom informed consent documents before they can begin. When enabled, these documents must be agreed to by all participants, regardless of whether they're part of Dscout's Scout Panel or recruited directly by you (even if you've opted to skip participant sign-up).

Note: To add informed consent documents to a study, you must first work with your Dscout account team to upload your documents into Dscout. For more information, see Custom informed consent.

Once your Dscout account team has added your documents, you can add them to studies as you build them.

Warning: Informed consent must be added to a study prior to launch. You can't add it later.

To add informed consent to a study:

1

In the builder, click the Study settings (gear) icon in the top-right corner.

2

Select the necessary document from the Informed consent drop-down.

3

Click Save.

Participants will be required to review and sign your custom informed consent before they can take part. To preview how participants will see it, view your study in test mode. For more information, see Test an AI moderated study.
