Updated Type1Screen consent forms
explaining consent to mum and child
To those extremely observant people who have noticed a change in our participant information and consent forms (PICFs)… you are extremely observant!!!
It is true that we have uploaded version 3 of our PICFs to the “Home” and “What’s Involved” web pages.
The update was to ensure that participants and their families are prepared for the fact that news of a positive islet autoantibody screen can be very stressful.
The new PICF also includes exciting developments in our antibody assays, which will allow for home finger prick sample collection. This will be up and running in the near future. Stay tuned.
You can also download the PICF for minors aged 2-18 years by clicking on this link, and for adults aged 18-30 at this link.
