## Video Consent

Users will need to record them accepting the consent document for your study.
This trial will allow the user to read the consent document and record a video
accepting it.

To create the video consent trial.

```javascript
const videoConsent = { type: chsRecord.VideoConsentPlugin, ...parameters };
```

### Parameters

#### Standard fields

**`additional_video_privacy_statement` [String]** Optional

Optional additional text for under header “Who can see our webcam recordings”.
For cases where researchers ask for other specific permission to share videos,
separate from the exit survey, or want to provide more detail or different
language about Databrary sharing.

**`datause` [String]** Required

Study-specific data use statement (optional). This will follow more general text
like: “The research group led by [PIName] at [institution] will have access to
video and other data collected during this session. We will also have access to
your account profile, demographic survey, and the child profile for the child
who is participating, including changes you make in the future to any of this
information. We may study your child’s responses in connection with his or her
previous responses to this or other studies run by our group, siblings’
responses to this or other studies run by our group, or demographic survey
responses.” (For exact text, please see specific template.)

You may want to note what measures you will actually be coding for (looking
time, facial expressions, parent-child interaction, etc.) and other more
specific information about your use of data from this study here. For instance,
you would note if you were building a corpus of naturalistic data that may be
used to answer a variety of questions (rather than just collecting data for a
single planned study).

**`gdpr` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to include a section on GDPR; only used in template consent_002 + .

**`gdpr_personal_data` [String]**

List of types of personal information collected, for GDPR section only. Do not
include special category information, which is listed separately.

**`gdpr_sensitive_data` [String]**

List of types of special category information collected, for GDPR section only.
Include all that apply: racial or ethnic origin; political opinions; religious
or philosophical beliefs; trade union membership; processing of genetic data;
biometric data; health data; and/or sex life or sexual orientation information

**`PIName` [String]**

Name of PI running this study

**`include_databrary` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to include a paragraph about Databrary under “Who can see our webcam
recordings?”.

**`institution` [String]**

Name of institution running this study (if ambiguous, list institution whose IRB
approved the study)’

**`PIContact` [String]**

Contact information for PI or lab in case of participant questions or concerns.
This will directly follow the phrase “please contact”, so format accordingly:
e.g., “the XYZ lab at [email protected]” or “Mary Smith at 123 456 7890”.

**`payment` [String]**

Statement about payment/compensation for participation, including a statement
that there are no additional benefits anticipated to the participant. E.g.,
“After you finish the study, we will email you a $5 BabyStore gift card within
approximately three days. To be eligible for the gift card your child must be in
the age range for this study, you need to submit a valid consent statement, and
we need to see that there is a child with you. But we will send a gift card even
if you do not finish the whole study or we are not able to use your child’s
data! There are no other direct benefits to you or your child from
participating, but we hope you will enjoy the experience.”

This section is by default titled “Are there any benefits to your family?”; it
should only include information about benefits and compensation. If your IRB
prefers to combine risk/benefit information, you can change this to something
like “What are the risks and benefits if you participate?” and include both
here, then omit the risk_statement.

**`private_level_only` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to describe only the “private” video privacy level under the heading
“Who will be able to see your webcam recordings?” Only use this option if your
IRB has a hard restriction against even offering participants the option to
share their videos more broadly, and in conjunction with the corresponding
restriction of options in the exit survey!

**`procedures` [String]**

Brief description of study procedures. For consent templates 001 and 002, this
should include any risks or a statement that there are no anticipated risks.
(For consent template 003, that is included in payment). We add a statement
about the duration (from your study definition) to the start (e.g., “This study
takes about 10 minutes to complete”), so you don’t need to include that. It can
be in third person or addressed to the parent. E.g., “Your child will be shown
pictures of lots of different cats, along with noises that cats make like
meowing and purring. We are interested in which pictures and sounds make your
child smile. We will ask you (the parent) to turn around to avoid influencing
your child’s responses. There are no anticipated risks associated with
participating.”

**`purpose` [String]**

Brief description of purpose of study - 1-2 sentences that describe what you are
trying to find out. Language should be as straightforward and accessible as
possible! E.g., “Why do babies love cats? This study will help us find out
whether babies love cats because of their soft fur or their twitchy tails.”

**`research_rights_statement` [String]**

Statement about rights of research subjects and how to contact IRB. Used only in
template consent_002+. For instance, MIT’s standard language is: You are not
waiving any legal claims, rights or remedies because of your participation in
this research study. If you feel you have been treated unfairly, or you have
questions regarding your rights as a research subject, you may contact [CONTACT INFO].

**`risk_statement` [String]**

Optional statement; if provided, it is displayed under a header “Are there any
risks if you participate?”.

**`voluntary_participation` [String]**

Optional additional text for under header “Participation is voluntary”. E.g.,
“There are two sessions in this study; you will be invited to complete another
session next month. It is okay not to do both sessions!”

#### Additional customization available if REQUIRED by your IRB

To accommodate a variety of idiosyncratic IRB requirements, various other fields
are technically customizable. Please start by trying to get approval for a
standard Lookit consent form, because it helps participants for the forms to
have common structure and language. If your IRB says no, you need to use their
usual form that’s 14 pages long, please explain that Lookit requires you to use
of one of our standard forms to ensure a smooth participant experience; this is
in the Terms of Use! If it really won’t be possible to use Lookit without making
more changes, please let us know before using the following fields to further
customize the consent form:

**`purpose_header` [String | ""]**

Custom alternate header for the section on study purpose.

**`procedures_header` [String | ""]**

Custom alternate header for the section on study procedures.

**`participation_header` [String | ""]**

Custom alternate header for the section on participation being voluntary.

**`benefits_header` [String | ""]**

Custom alternate header for the section on benefits/compensation.

**`risk_header` [String | ""]**

Custom alternate header for risks section.

**`summary_statement` [String]**

Statement inserted at the beginning of the consent form, right after
“Researchers led by … are running this study … on Lookit.” Please only use this
if your IRB requires particular information to be included at the beginning of
the form; information is usually easier for participants to find under the
appropriate header rather than inserted here!

**`additional_segments` [Array]**

List of additional custom sections of the consent form, e.g. US Patriot Act
Disclosure or child abuse reporting obligation disclosure. These are subject to
Lookit approval and in general can only add information that was true anyway but
that your IRB needs explicitly listed.

Each section can have fields:

```javascript
{
title: "title of section",
text: "content of section"
}
```

**`prompt_all_adults` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to include an addition step #4 prompting any other adults present to
read a statement of consent (I have read and understand the consent document. I
also agree to participate in this study.)

**`prompt_only_adults` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to prompt only the adult for consent for themselves to participate,
rather than also referencing a child. This is for occasional studies running an
adult comparison group.

**`consent_statement_text` [String]**

Replace the default spoken consent statement with your custom text.

**`omit_injury_phrase` [Boolean | false]**

Whether to omit the phrase “or in the very unlikely event of a research-related
injury” from the contact section. (This was required by the Northwestern IRB.)
