The idea
Informed consent means participants are told what the study involves and any risk it carries, and agree to take part without pressure.
In practice
Subjects learn the purpose, the time required, and their right to stop, before anything is recorded.
Where people slip
Consent obtained by withholding the study's real purpose is not informed.
