eConsent step-by-step guide
- Check your email for two messages. The first email has your username (it starts with VP-) and a request to create a password. The second email contains a link to the eConsent form for the study you want to join.
- Open the first email and create a password as instructed.
- After that, click on the link in the second email to access the eConsent form. Sign in using the username and password.

- Once you have entered your username and password, the welcome page will appear. Click on eConsents.

- You will see a list of consent forms that you need to complete. Click on each form (they start with IC-) to review and sign them.

- Each consent form has a PDF with different sections. Start with the Main Consent Form, and complete any Optional or Future Study Consent Forms that apply to your study.

- Scroll through the Main Consent Form and review the information. Within the form there is a consent PDF attached that you should read thorougly. At the end of the form, select “Continue” if you want to proceed with the study, “Decline” if you don’t want to proceed, or “Save for Later” if you need more time.

- If you want to sign the form select “Continue,” enter your username and password again. Click “Save,” and a signature ID will be generated.

- Click the blue arrow button at the bottom right of the page to proceed to the next form.
Note: This only applies to studies that have a main consent form and optional consent forms. Not all studies will have additional forms; if this applies to your study it will be communicated to you when you talk to the doctors. - After completing all forms, close the window. Once the doctor signs the forms, you’ll receive a copy of the final consent form via email. You won’t be able to access the portal again unless you have other pending consents to sign.
