Limited English Proficiency and Non-English Speaking Participants
Participants who have limited or no English proficiency may be enrolled in your research provided that you have the resources to communicate effectively during the recruitment process, while obtaining consent, and for the duration of the study. Translated documents can be submitted as a modification along with a Certificate of Translation. The short form consent is typically used when an unexpected potential participant does not speak English and there is not enough time to translate the English version of the approved consent document into a language the potential participant understands.
