Free and Informed Consent Form - How to Proceed

TERMS OF FREE AND INFORMED CONSENT

For human research and researches involving humans there is a need for a free and informed consent form, filled in by the research participant and/or its legal representative, as well as a consent term if the research involves minors or legally incapacitated.

 

WHAT IS THE TCLE:

The Free and Informed Consent Form (TCLE) is a document given to the participant in the research so that they are informed about the research and can voluntarily choose to either participate or not in the study. The TCLE must have suitable language to inform the research’s participants in a clear, simple and direct way. In opting to participate, they will be giving their consent in a free and informed way.

The participant’s free and informed consent is a requirement in any research, in respect to human dignity.

 

WHAT IS THE TALE:

The Free and Informed Consent Term (TALE) is a document prepared in a language accessible to minors or legally incapable, through which, after the research participants are duly clarified, they will explain their consent to participate in the research, with exclusion of consent of their legal representatives.

 

HOW THE TCLE SHOULD BE PREPARED:

The TCLE should be written as an invitation to participate in the research. For the preparation of an TCLE, it is important to remember that all information must be written in a very clear, simple and concise way so that comprehension is complete. Therefore, it is necessary to take into account the profile of the participant, to fit the language of the term. For this reason, technical terms or other terms that are not customary to the profile of the lay participant should be avoided. In addition, it should not contain acronyms (if necessary, put their meaning), and no terms in a language other than Portuguese.

There are two resolutions of the National Health Council (CNS) that regulate what must be in a TCLE:

Resolution CNS 466/12 for research involving human beings and;

Resolution CNS 510/16 for research in Human and Social Sciences.
