Interview Consent Form



Introduction and Purpose:

The purpose of this research is to provide feedback on health-related materials about certain kinds of medicines called biologics. RTI International, a non-profit research organization based in North Carolina, is conducting this study on behalf of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).


You have been invited to take part in this study because you reported taking, or caring for someone who takes, a biologic.


Procedures:

If you agree to participate, you will take part in a one-on-one interview about biologics. The interview will be conducted online using Zoom, a video and audio platform, so you will be able to see and talk with the interviewer. The discussion will last about 90 minutes.


You are one of approximately 30 people from across the country participating in this study. You will not be contacted about this research after the interview ends.


Benefits:

There is no direct benefit to you for participating. However, you may find the conversation informative, and your responses will help the FDA better communicate with patients and caregivers about medicines.


Risk/Discomforts:

There are no known risks to participating in this study. You do not have to answer any questions that you don’t want to answer.


Privacy and Confidentiality:

We will keep the information that you share during the interview secure to the extent permitted by law. The RTI study team will not disclose your full name or personal information to anyone, including FDA, and this information will not be linked to any of your responses during the interview. Your responses will be combined with the responses of other participants in a report that will not identify you by first or last name. Only RTI and L&E Research will have access to your signed consent form.


We will audio and video record the conversation to supplement our notes. Any information that can identify you will be removed from the recordings and transcripts before sending them to FDA. The recordings and other materials will be stored on password protected computers at RTI and FDA that only authorized project staff can access. RTI and FDA will retain these files for up to ten years and then delete them.


Observation:

Research team members, including FDA staff, will observe the conversation online through video streaming. You will not be able to see these observers on camera.


Right to Refuse or Withdraw:

Your participation in this study is voluntary. You can choose not to talk about any topic, and you can stop participating at any time and will still receive the honorarium.


Honorarium:

As a thank you for your time and participation, you will be emailed about your $75 honorarium within one business day after the interview concludes and have the option to choose between a physical or electronic gift card.

If you have questions about the online interview, you can call the RTI project director, Doug Rupert, toll-free at 1-800-334-8571, ext. 26495. He can be reached between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM Eastern Time Monday to Friday.
