e-Consent Tools and Guidance

If you are interested in implementing an e-consent process in your research check out the following documents to guide you.  The first is an overall guide to e-consent and the next two will help you build your consent within REDCap.  If you need assistance with your e-consent process, contact the CRRO (submit a request for CRRO Services form).  If you need specific help with REDCap you can request a REDCap consult: rchelp@bu.edu.
