Standardised with modifiable components – An example is provided on the downloadable accessible PIL, this will require modification to reflect your trial.
-
This section is to let people know that their time and contribution to research is valued and to thank people for reading the information.
-
If your trial is offering reimbursement for participation, explain that this is to say thank you and clearly describe how this will be provided (e.g. money or vouchers) and how much people will be offered, providing a breakdown if based on data provided at different timepoints.
-
Make it clear that any payment will be offered rather than given as some people may not want to receive payment.
-
Ensure site staff are prepared to provide information on how accepting payment could affect tax and benefits.
-
If relevant, explain that travel costs will be paid for any visits to the research team.
-
Explain that patients can choose to be informed of the results at the end of the trial and give an indication of when this will be.
The image for this section should focus on conveying ‘thank you’ rather than emphasising any reimbursement that will be offered to participants as some people may be uncomfortable accepting payment for participation.
