Informed consent is the process of providing individuals with information about a study to enable them to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate. John was provided with information and signed a form indicating agreement, which indicates informed consent. Implicit consent assumes agreement based on behavior, while ideal consent refers to a hypothetical situation in which an individual fully understands all aspects of a study and wishes to participate. Voluntary consent refers to the freedom to choose whether or not to participate. While John's consent was voluntary, the specific type of consent he gave was informed consent.
