    Your own eligibility can be defined by various factors, depending on the nature of the study. If you meet the eligibility criteria, you will be given a consent form containing a detailed written description of all the stages of the study, any potential risks, and your rights as a participant. If the procedure includes any type of intervention for example, drawing a blood sample or personal data relating to your health, the process of granting consent will be performed prior to the eligibility screening to ensure that you have been informed of what will be asked of you and of any potential risks. By signing and returning the consent form, you agree to participate in the study. If you have doubts regarding your participation or do not feel comfortable during the study, you have the right to withdraw at any time, without any consequences.
