Description: Informed consent (IC) is key to generating and maintaining research participants' trust and upholding the ethical principle of respect for persons. Broad consent for future use, wherein researchers ask participants for their permission to share participant-level data and samples collected within the study for purposes loosely related to the study objectives, is central to enabling data and sample reuse. Here we present the protocol, consent forms, and interview guides for a cognitive interview study to evaluate how cohort participants understand the broad consent-related language in a template informed consent form from the University of California Institutional Review Board.
