POLICY STATEMENT

It is UAB policy that human subjects receive the following information from investigators and the IRB as part of the informed consent process:

• For research involving more than minimal risk, when medical treatments are available if injury occurs, where further information may be obtained, and whom to contact in the event of a research-related injury;
• An explanation of whom to contact for answers and responses to pertinent questions, concerns, or complaints about the research and the research participant’s rights;
• An explanation of whom to contact in the event the research staff cannot be reached or to discuss the research with someone other than the research staff.
