Answer 1

You should explain briefly why and how the research is conducted. this is a separate consent form that is the only one part of the process. the researcher should explain the potential subjects important to take time to read the information sheet with research obtaining consent. To do cervix sample research discussion and questions are more effective ways of providing information. explicit consent is also direct consent.

It is a professional standard, medical ethics and confidentiality getting explicitly consent is important. it is important that person should read theorugly the consent form by spending times with written information. available evidence indicate these information is explained and researchers should ensure the study is explained to the participant.
