Driver verbal consent script
“We are conducting a voluntary and anonymous driver survey. You are being asked to participate in a research study to better understand how medications and other drugs may impact motor vehicle crashes. The survey and breath test take just a few minutes and you will be paid $5.00 upon completion of both. There is no cost to you. You may skip any question or stop participation at any time. The survey is completely anonymous as none of your responses will be directly linked to you in any way. You will complete the survey on a tablet computer, and I can assist you if needed. This part should take about 5 minutes. If you agree to continue now, you will read more information on this tablet about the study and then you can decide if you want to take the survey. May we continue?”
Tablet consent language
By proceeding with this survey, you are consenting to allow your responses to be included in the research effort that is examining how medications and other drugs impact motor vehicle crashes. Survey questions ask about your background, where you are driving to and from, and opinions about driver safety. You will then be asked to give a breath sample, and you may be asked to give a small blood sample.
You must be 18 years or older to take part in this study. All results of the study will only be reported at the group level and your responses to this survey cannot be linked to you in any way. We do not expect any direct benefit to you, but you may help improve traffic safety in the future. We will give you a copy of information about this study with contact information for study staff. Do you have any questions right now that I can answer?

Driver
Breath Sample Verbal Consent:
“Now
I’d like to get a sample of your breath. The results are put
into the study database. There is no link to your identity. Our
device does not display any readings that I can see, so there is no
risk to you. [Show Premilitary Breath Test device to subject]. This
will take just a few seconds. Do you have any questions right now for
me? Are
you willing to participate in this part of the study?”
“I will indicate on my survey that you said”: YES NO
Blood
Draw Verbal Consent (Initial consent):
“We
are also asking individuals to give a blood sample for this study. If
you provide the sample, I will pay you $50. The purpose is to measure
some blood components that may be related to driving safety. This is
completely anonymous and the results are sent directly to the lab and
analyzed. There is no way the results can be matched with you.
Leftover blood will be destroyed, and no genetic testing will be
done. I am a licensed phlebotomist (nurse or EMT) and it should take
about five minutes. To
participate in the blood in this part of the study, you must not be
taking any blood thinners (like Coumadin), or receiving injections
such as Calciparine or Liquaemin, and not have a blood disorder such
as hemophilia. Do
you have any questions right now that I can answer? Are
you willing to participate in this part of the study?”
“I will indicate on my survey that you said”: YES NO
Consent Information
Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to identify factors contributing to safe and unsafe driving. Volunteers are being asked to take part as “control” participants. These are individuals who were driving on the road, and were not involved in a traffic incident or in a crash.
Procedures: This study has three parts:
Taking a short survey
Giving a breath sample
Giving a blood sample (about 10 mL, or 2 teaspoons)
Risks and Benefits:
There is no direct benefit to those who take part in this study. It is hoped that others will benefit from knowledge gained about traffic safety issues. Because data are anonymous and there is no way to connect information back to you as individual, there is no expected risk to participants.
For those providing a blood sample, risks are considered minimal. This may include dizziness, nausea, fainting (with or without injury from falling), and soreness or bruising at the site of the blood draw. We will minimize these to the extent possible.
Personal Information: As this is an anonymous study about drivers, we are not collecting any information that can identify you individually. We are not collecting information about your name, address, driver’s license, and there is no way we can link your personal information to this study. No genetic testing will be done.
Confidentiality:
All results of the study will be reported at the group level and survey responses will not be linked to participants in any way. Leftover blood may be stored for up to 2 years, then destroyed. No genetic testing will be done.
Costs/Compensation:
There is no cost to you for taking part. Participants are paid $5 for a breath sample and $50 for a blood sample.
Voluntary Participation:
Your participation in this study is completely voluntary and you may withdraw at any time. If you withdraw before the sample collections, however, you will not receive payment.
Contact Information:
If you have any questions about the study, you may call the study’s Principal Investigator, Dennis Thomas, Ph.D. at (203) 323-8464. This study has been reviewed by Advarra IRB, which is a committee to help ensure that your rights and welfare are protected.
