New Out-of-study Contact Language for Medical/Health study Consent Forms as of Oct. 2, 2003
Out-of-study contact language should be updated in consent forms approved prior to Oct. 2, 2003 and used in consent forms drafted after this date. This change does not need to be reviewed by the IRB, but the IRB will look for this change in the consent form during future reviews.

Language and Cultural Considerations
If the majority of the anticipated subjects do not speak English or will be unable to understand the consent form written in English, the consent form must be translated into a language understandable to the subjects.
However, if the majority of subjects are English speakers, but there are a portion of the subjects who will not be able to understand the consent form written in English a short form may be used .
