Add informed consent to a media survey

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 are part of Dscout's Scout Panel or recruited directly by you (even if you've opted to skip participant sign-up).

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 informed consent documents to your account, you can add them to studies as you build them.

To add informed consent to a study:

Informed consent must be added to a study prior to launch. You cannot add informed consent to a study later.
