If nothing was unclear or difficult, say so. Skip questions about steps you did not experience; use not applicable where appropriate. What did the information say would be recorded? What choice was unclear? What contact detail would help? Author notes / illustrative keys where applicable: 1. Use this answer to locate the part of the experience that needs explanation. The example issue to investigate is: participants cannot distinguish notes from audio recording. 2. An unclear choice reveals whether participants understand optional activities, withdrawal or handling arrangements. Explain the actual procedure and available contacts, while recognizing that wording comprehension alone does not establish legally valid consent. 3. Identify the verified contact route participants need for questions about the study, recording or handling choices. Make its purpose clear; access to a contact does not replace the appropriate agreement process.
