[IxDA Discuss] discuss Digest, Vol 44, Issue 3

[Julie Cabinaw]

Maral --

We do a fair amount of user testing with clinical individuals because we
create health content and applications to access health content for
clinicians...we are able to offer incentives without issue.  Our consent
is clear about what the compensation is for and the purpose of the user
testing -- is it enough to include this on your participant consent from
a legal perspective?
