Greenstein & Davis, 2013 explain that the Department of Health and Human Services require each individual who is part of the research to be informed of the potential risks, benefits, confidentiality, research contact information, and lastly that participation is open door policy.

    The IRB is an administrative body which has been established to make sure research participants' rights are protected. IRBs review all aspects of the researchers' project: the study design, the recruitment process, the participant population, the informed consent document and process, the risk/benefit ratio, privacy and confidentiality, data storage and protection, and safeguards for vulnerable participants (University of St. Francis, n.d.). In this way, participants' rights are protected because the effort is made even before the research begins. The review process ensures that participants are chosen fairly and informed adequately and the information collected during research is safeguarded through collection, use, and storage. Research using human participants is such an important part of medicine that it is imperative it is performed in a way that its intrigue is not compromised.

    In conclusion, obtaining informed consent is a vital part of respect for the patient and safeguarding of self-determination. The consent to participate in research or treatment should be informed, comprehensible, and free of coercion. There is not a clear black and white answer because no matter what is done to assure informed consent there is always a moment of doubt on the end of the patient as to whether what is going to take place is fully understood and their true wishes honored.

    Once a participant has given their consent, they are then expected and obligated to be truthful when giving their answers. The other end to this research participant obligation is the obligation of the researcher to keep all answers confidential. When a researcher receives information from a participant regarding their research study, they are required to keep the answers to themselves and refrain from sharing the information with others. However, this obligation can work both ways. Sometimes a researcher may reveal sensitive information to the participant with the expectation that the participant keeps it confidential. Overall, “confidentiality helps ensure truthful responses,” which is the obligation of the research participant (Zikmund & Babin, 2013). An example of the use of confidentiality in a research study that I have been involved in is the promise not to share my email or other contact information when taking an online survey. Before signing up to take surveys, the organization conducting the survey will typically post a confidentiality statement ensuring the participant that they will keep their personal information private. “Ultimately, confidentiality is an issue of trust between respondents and researchers” (Cho & LaRose,
