Dynamic consent
Dynamic Consent
Dynamic consent (/daɪˈnæmɪk kənˈsɛnt/) is a flexible, participant-centred approach to obtaining informed consent in biomedical research. It allows individuals to tailor and manage their own consent preferences over time, providing a mechanism for ongoing communication between researchers and participants.
Etymology
The term "dynamic consent" is derived from the English words "dynamic" (/daɪˈnæmɪk/), meaning "characterized by constant change, activity, or progress", and "consent" (/kənˈsɛnt/), meaning "permission for something to happen or agreement to do something".
Concept
Dynamic consent is a concept that has evolved in response to the need for a more flexible and participant-centred approach to consent in biomedical research. It is designed to facilitate ongoing communication between researchers and participants, allowing individuals to tailor their consent preferences over time. This includes the ability to opt in or out of different aspects of research, and to receive updates about the progress and findings of the research.
Related Terms
- Informed Consent: Informed consent is a process for getting permission before conducting a healthcare intervention on a person, or for disclosing personal information.
- Biomedical Research: Biomedical research is the broad area of science that involves the investigation of the biological process and the causes of disease through careful experimentation, observation, laboratory work, analysis, and testing.
- Participant-Centred Approach: A participant-centred approach is a method of research in which the focus is on the needs, experiences, and perspectives of the participants.
Benefits
Dynamic consent offers several potential benefits over traditional consent models. These include increased participant engagement, improved trust and transparency, and the potential to enhance ethical standards in research by giving participants greater control over their personal data.
Challenges
Despite its potential benefits, dynamic consent also presents several challenges. These include logistical issues related to the management of consent preferences, potential difficulties in ensuring that participants fully understand the implications of their consent decisions, and concerns about the potential for coercion or undue influence.
