This process is called informed consent, as the participants are given information about the study and asked to sign a form indicating their willingness to participate. Debriefing occurs after the study, where participants are provided with information about the results and the purpose of the study. Risk/gain assessment and risk/benefit analysis are related to evaluating potential risks and benefits of a research study, but do not refer specifically to the process of obtaining informed consent.
