What it is

The foundational research-ethics statement for medical research involving human participants. Participation is voluntary, and a participant may withdraw consent at any time without reprisal.

Role in the record

  • Grounds BP10 (bp10-a5): because a participant can withdraw at any time, data held under that consent cannot be committed to a use that could not later honour a withdrawal, such as irreversible model training.

Atom-level for/against detail and quotes are in the provenance data (assets/provenance.yml), keyed by practice atom.
