Why it should be encrypted

Names, email addresses, consent choices, and questions may reveal someone's involvement in a study. Encryption helps keep answers from being readable by SealForm or people who should not access participant information.

Tips

  • Add the study's approved purpose, risks, benefits, confidentiality details, and withdrawal instructions before sharing the form.
  • Explain who will review responses and how participants can contact the study team.
  • Confirm your study's required consent process with the appropriate research oversight team; this form may not replace it.
