New! Information Sheet and Consent Form Addendums for COVID-19 Screening and Testing Procedures
The HRPP has created the following documents for research participants attending onsite study visits during the COVID-19 public health emergency:
- COVID-19 Screening Information Sheet
- COVID-19 Testing Assent/Consent Form Addendum: Adults, Adolescents (13+), and Parents of Minors
- COVID-19 Testing Assent Form Addendum: Children Aged 7-12
These forms are specifically designed for research participants who undergo COVID-19 screening and/or testing for the sole purpose of adhering to the UCSF Guidance for Onsite Clinical Research Activities, which requires that research participants be screened for COVID-19 prior to onsite visits and must be tested if their visit involves aerosolizing procedures. Use these forms only when the results of the screening and/or testing are unrelated to the study and will not be used as study data.
The language from these forms can also be adapted and added to consent forms for studies in which these screening and testing procedures are being done for study purposes, i.e., the results of the screening and/or testing will be used as study data.
