Dynamic consent
Okay kiddo, have you ever shared your toys with your friends? You might have asked them first if it’s okay to share the toy with them, right? That’s called consent, and it means asking someone if it’s okay to do something before you do it.
Just like sharing toys, people who share information in research studies also need to give their consent or say it’s okay for researchers to use their information. This is where dynamic consent comes in.
Dynamic consent is like asking for permission over and over again but in a super special way. It means that researchers keep checking with the people who are part of the study to make sure they still want to be part of it and that they still give their permission to use their data.
So, if you’re part of a research study that uses dynamic consent, the researchers will keep asking you if you’re okay with them using your information. This could happen weeks, months or even years after you first agreed to be part of the study.
This way, you always know what’s going on with your information, and you have a say in what happens to it. It’s like if you want to share your toy with your friend, you can keep asking if they’re still interested in playing with it or if they’d like to do something else instead!
