I’ve been reviewing some IRB submissions lately, and I swear, half of them read like a season finale of a soap opera. Between plot twists in patient consent forms and ‘wait, what did they mean by that?’ moments in the protocol, it feels like I’m more at a comedy show than in compliance management. Anyone else experiencing this hilarious chaos in their reviews?
Totally with you! I once read a consent form that had more plot twists than my favorite show. Sometimes it helps to break it down and give the authors a little feedback on clarity.
I’ve seen consent forms that could double as thrillers. 
Are there certain aspects you think need the most clarity?
I totally get what you mean — i find that clear outlines in the initial drafts can help avoid some of those soap opera moments later on… Ever considered giving a mini workshop on writing for clarity, @anderson19?
