Community Consent

Introduction:

On August 29, 2017, Mr. Jack Hosty gave a presentation on Community Consent, a.k.a. Exception from Informed Consent. Community consent is used as an revoking of informed consent. Participant enrolled in a community consent research project are often unaware that they are even enrolled in this research. The participants who opt out of the research are ones who are aware of the study. The FDA makes it clear that researchers ought to be reasonably attempt to obtain consent for participants or their legal representative. Mr. Hosty discusses whether community consent can be practiced ethically.
