146.433	This section should be included if there may be procedures which are not familiar to the participant.	(no match)
146.601	1) involving randomization or blinding, the participants should be told what that means and what chance they have of getting which drug (i.e. one in four chances of getting the test drug).	(no match)
146.616	(Example:.	(too few spaces)
146.62	Because we do not know if the new malaria drug is better than the currently available drug for treating malaria, we need to compare the two.	(no match)
146.691	To do this, we will put people taking part in this research into two groups.	(no match)
146.916	The groups are selected by chance, as if by tossing a coin.	(no match)
147.145	Participants in one group will be given the test drug while participants in the other group will be given the drug that is currently being used for malaria.	(no match)
147.2	It is important that neither you nor we know which of the two drugs you are given.	(no match)
147.371	This information will be in our files, but we will not look at these files until after the research is finished.	(no match)
147.522	This is the best way we have for testing without being influenced by what we think or hope might happen.	(no match)
147.702	We will then compare which of the two has the best results.	(no match)
147.929	The healthcare workers will be looking after you and the other participants very carefully  during the study.	(no match)
148.093	If we are concerned about what the drug is doing , we will find out which drug you are getting and make changes.	(no match)
148.243	If there is anything you are concerned about or that is bothering you about the research please talk to me or one of the other researchers)	(no match)
148.331	2) involving an inactive drug or placebo, it is important to ensure that the participants understand what is meant by a placebo or inactive drug.	(no match)
148.379	A placebo or inactive medicine looks like real medicine but it is not.	(no match)
148.586	It is a dummy or pretend medicine.	(no match)
148.726	It has no effect on a person because it has no real medicine in it.	(no match)
148.982	Sometimes when we want  to know whether a new medicine is good, we give some people the new medicine and some people the pretend or  dummy medicine.	(no match)
149.017	For the research to be good, it is important that you do not  know whether you have been given the real medicine or  the pretend or dummy medicine.	(no match)
149.052	This is one of the best ways we have for knowing what the medicine we are testing really does.)	(no match)
149.252	3) which may necessitate a rescue medicine, then provide information about the rescue medicine or treatment such as what it is and the criterion for its use.	(no match)
149.295	For example, in pain trials, if the test drug does not control pain, then intravenous morphine may be used as a rescue medicine.	(no match)
149.423	If we find that the medicine that is being used does not have the desired effect, or not to the extent that we wish it to have, we will use what is called a “rescue medicine.”	(no match)
149.441	The medicine that we will use is called QRS  and it has been proven to control pain.	(no match)
149.649	If you find that the drug we are testing does not stop your pain and it is very uncomfortable for you, we can use the rescue medicine to make you more comfortable.)	(no match)

149.87	Firstly, explain that there are standards/guidelines that will be followed for the treatment of their condition.	(no match)
150.027	Secondly, if as part of the research a biopsy will be taken, then explain whether it will be under local anesthesia, sedation or general anesthesia, and what sort of symptoms and side effects the participant should expect under each category.	(no match)
150.042	You will receive the treatment of your condition according to national guidelines.	(no match)
150.256	This means that you will be (explain the treatment).	(no match)
150.526	To confirm the cause of your swelling, a small sample of your skin will be taken.	(no match)
150.747	The guidelines say that the sample must be taken using a local anesthesia which means that we will give you an injection close to the area where we will take the sample from.	(no match)
150.766	This will make the area numb so that you will not feel any pain when we take the sample.)	(no match)

151.334	If the tissues/blood samples or any other human biological material will be stored for a duration longer than the research purpose, or is likely to be used for a purpose other than mentioned in the research proposal, then provide information about this and obtain consent specifically for such storage and use in addition to consent for participation in the study - (see last section)	(no match)
151.357	We will take blood from your arm using a syringe and  needle.	(no match)

152.622	During the research you make five visits to the clinic.	(no match)
152.819	In the first visit, a small amount of blood, equal to about a teaspoon, will be taken from your arm with a syringe.	(no match)

153.11	We will also ask you a few questions about your general health and measure how tall you are and how much you weigh.	(no match)
153.236	At the next visit, which will be two weeks later, you will again be asked some questions about your health and then you will be given either the test drug or the drug that is currently used for malaria.	(no match)
153.253	As explained before, neither you nor we will know whether you have received the test or the dummy/pretend drug.	(no match)
