title: The concept of informed consent in qualitative research.
abstract: Informed consent is an essential part of all research endeavors that involve human participants. The human rights of research participants must be protected. It is incumbent upon the qualitative researcher to provide a dynamic informed consent when study outcomes change. The violation of privacy is more apt to occur with in-depth interviews, which has implications for researchers to protect human rights throughout data collection, analysis, and dissemination.
