Informed consent refers to the process of providing potential participants with sufficient information about a research study to make an informed decision about whether to participate. This includes information about the study's purpose, potential risks and benefits, and the voluntary nature of participation. Debriefing occurs after a study and involves providing participants with additional information about the study's purpose and outcomes.
