Data Clarification Form

A Data Clarification Form (pronunciation: /ˈdeɪ.tə ˌklær.ɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən fɔːrm/), often abbreviated as DCF, is a document used in Clinical Research to resolve discrepancies or queries that arise during data processing. The term is derived from the English words "data" (facts and statistics collected for reference or analysis), "clarification" (the action of making a statement or situation less confused and more comprehensible), and "form" (a printed document with spaces for filling in information).

Usage

This includes inconsistencies, missing data, and any other issues that could potentially impact the quality and integrity of the trial data.
