New Guidance Regarding Reproductive Risks
For those researchers that would like assistance in developing consent language describing risks associated with women and men of reproductive age, the University of Pittsburgh IRB has developed a new guidance document. Included in the guidance are points to consider when developing consent documents as well as some suggested risk language. The guidance can be accessed through the IRB web site (www.irb.pitt.edu) under the "Guidance" tab.
