      What is informed consent?<\/h2>\n

      Informed consent\u00a0is a process for getting permission before conducting a healthcare intervention on a person, or for disclosing personal information. A\u00a0health care provider\u00a0may ask a patient to\u00a0consent\u00a0to receive\u00a0therapy\u00a0before providing it, or a\u00a0clinical researcher\u00a0may ask a\u00a0research participant\u00a0before enrolling that person into a\u00a0clinical trial. Informed consent is collected according to guidelines from the fields of\u00a0medical ethics\u00a0and\u00a0research ethics.<\/p>\n

      Informed consent can be said to have been given based upon an evident appreciation and understanding of the facts, implications, and consequences of an action. Adequate informed consent is rooted in respecting a person\u2019s dignity. To give informed consent, the individual concerned must have appropriate reasoning faculties and have all relevant facts. Impairments to reasoning and judgment that may prevent informed consent include basic intellectual or emotional immaturity, high levels of stress such as\u00a0post-traumatic stress disorder\u00a0(PTSD) or severe\u00a0intellectual disability, severe\u00a0mental disorder,\u00a0intoxication, severe\u00a0sleep deprivation,\u00a0Alzheimer\u2019s disease, or being in a\u00a0coma.<\/p>\n
