Description

Hi Guys,
I really like the goal of creating an ultimate consent form that specifically addresses the aspect of sharing the data. I was wondering whether it would make sense to add a section where the participant is explicitly asked about the option that the researcher may contact the subject in the future for other experiments?

For example if I would have a database that contains anatomical scans it would be interesting for collaborators to re-invite the same subjects as they would not have to acquire (all) the structural scans again.

So something like a text that is used in longitudinal research project consent forms:
https://www.familycohort.org/files/family/2014/2014_consentform.pdf
_Study contacts
You will be contacted semi-annually to verify your contact information, and once every three years to complete the survey._

It should have no influence on whether the subject can participate in the study but from a research point of view it would be very valuable to be able to contribute to a given database.
Cheers
Max

Research direction

Start by reviewing the repository's consent-form content and the linked longitudinal consent example. Determine where a future-contact option belongs and how it remains separate from permission to participate; done means the consent form clearly records that choice without affecting study eligibility.
