What to do if a subject withdraws consent?
If a subject withdraws consent, follow the forms below:
- Lock the participant or parts of the participant which should no longer be modified
- Make sure to trigger an exclusion message - these can be set up in the Data validation tab for a field
- Archive the participant - archived participant will not be visible in the data entry and will not be exported. You can unarchive a participant at any time.
Note: If a patient withdraws from the study before they have completed all visits, then these underlying forms can be marked as user missing. You can also import user missing data. Alternatively, you may choose to hide visits with the automation engine. Please note that one field can only trigger one automation at a time.
