About informed consent forms

Informed consent forms are documents that explain a procedure, study, or service in clear terms before someone agrees to participate. They include the purpose, risks, benefits, alternatives, and the person’s rights.
 

Why is informed consent important?

Informed consent is crucial because it ensures individuals clearly understand what they are agreeing to before any procedure or service. It provides transparency, protects individual rights, reduces misunderstandings, and helps the subject population and organizations meet ethical and legal requirements.
 

Can I customize the templates?

You can personalize a consent form on forms.app by going beyond basic field editing and changing how the form behaves and looks. You can rename fields, add descriptions, set required fields, and use input validations (such as email or number formats) to collect cleaner and more accurate data. With conditional logic, you can create dynamic flows that show different questions to different users based on their selections.

 

Customization also includes the form's visual elements. You can reorder fields, group questions into logical sections, and choose from ready-made themes or fully customize colors, fonts, and backgrounds to match your brand identity.
