You need to be well-versed with HTML to configure consent forms. The HTML files can be created manually or using online editors like this.

In future versions, we plan to give a UI-based editor within OpenSpecimen to create the consent forms.

titleExamples to add the different types of custom fields in the consent document
  1. The ‘Consent Date’ should display the default value as the current date and time. Ensure that the control type in the consent custom fields form is updated to ‘Date and Time’.

In the consent HTML, the code for the ‘Consent Date’ field needs to be updated as below:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="clearfix">
      <div style="width: 45%; float: left; clear: left;">
          <div class="col-xs-8 os-no-left-padding">
            <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.consentDate" type="date-time">
              <os-date-picker name="consentDate" date="ectx.customFields.consentDate" default-current-date ng-disabled="1 != 0"></os-date-picker>
            </div>
          </div>

          <div class="col-xs-4 os-no-left-padding">
            <timepicker class="os-time-no-wheels" ng-model="ectx.customFields.consentDate" show-meridian="false" readonly-input="true"></timepicker>
          </div>
        <div os-field-error field="econsentForm.consentDate"></div>
      </div>
    </div>

The ‘os-date-picker’ sets the value to the current date and the time picker allows the display of the current timestamp.

2. Add consent statement with the default value set and hidden on the overview page

Code Block
<div consent-question="C0003">
        <input type="hidden" ng-model="ectx.statements.C0003" ng-init="ectx.statements.C0003 = ectx.statements.C0003 || 'Y'">
   </div>

3. Add custom field radio button "I Agree/I do not agree"

Code Block
<div class="clearfix" style="padding: 8px 8px 0px;#if(true)display: none;#end">
  <div style="display: block; margin-bottom: 10px;">
    <span>
      <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.iAgree">
        <input type="radio" name="iAgree" value="Yes" ng-model="ectx.customFields.iAgree"
          ng-required="(ectx.statements.C0003=='N' || ectx.statements.C0003==null)">
          <span>
            <strong>I agree</strong> that you may contact me if there are results from the genetic research that may be relevant to my health.
          </span>
      </div>
    </span>
  </div>
  <div style="display: block;">
    <span>
      <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.iAgree">
        <input type="radio" name="iAgree" value="No" ng-model="ectx.customFields.iAgree"
          ng-required="(ectx.statements.C0003=='N' || ectx.statements.C0003==null)">
          <span>
            <strong>I do not agree</strong> that you may contact me if there are results from the genetic research that may be relevant to my health.
          </span>
      </div>
    </span>
  </div>
  <div os-field-error field="econsentForm.iAgree"></div>
</div>

4. Add custom field text-box

Code Block

    <div style="width: 70%; float: left">
      <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.participantName">
        <div>
          <textarea class="form-control" name="participantName" ng-model="ectx.customFields.participantName" rows="1" required></textarea>
        </div>
      </div>
      <div os-field-error field="econsentForm.participantName"> </div>
    </div>

      <div>
      <label class="control-label">
        <span>
          <strong>Signature of Biobank Participant</strong>
        </span>
      </label>
      </div>
      <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.signature" type="signature">
        <ec-signature name="signature" image="ectx.customFields.signature" ng-required="(ectx.customFields.signatureAuthRep==null && (ectx.statements.C0003=='N' || ectx.statements.C0003==null))">

            </div>
          </div>

          <div class="col-xs-4 os-no-left-padding">
            <timepicker class="os-time-no-wheels" ng-model="ectx.customFields.consentDate" show-meridian="false" readonly-input="true"></timepicker>

Code Block
languagehtml
 <ol>
	<li>
		<u>You will be asked to donate a blood sample (approximately 3 tablespoons) and urine sample.</u> If these samples are not collected today, they may be collected at a future time when you have a blood draw ordered by your doctor or a separate appointment that is convenient for you. In some cases, we may ask you for a saliva (spit) or buccal (cheek swab) sample. We may also use blood, urine, or tissue samples collected as part of your clinical care now or in the future that would otherwise be thrown away.
	</li>
	<li>
		<u>We will request information about you and your health.  We will collect your name, address and other contact information.</u> We will use your electronic health records now and, in the future, to update your health information. We will store some of your health information, including your name, contact information, and medical history, in the Columbia Biobank database.  Biobank staff will make a note that you are a participant in the biobank in your electronic health record.
	</li>
	<ec-print-page-break></ec-print-page-break>
	<li>
		<u>We may contact you in the future.</u> We may ask you to complete additional questionnaires about your health or contact you to get additional information and ask if you are interested in joining other research studies. We may also contact you for another biological sample. We may ask for additional samples in order to study changes in your sample over time, or because we used up the first sample you provided. If we ask you for another sample, you may always say no.
	</li>
	<li>
		<u>Your coded samples, health information, and the research results may be shared with the scientific research community.</u> A science and ethics committee will review each request for data access. We will not give researchers outside of Columbia University Irving Medical Center-NewYork Presbyterian your name or any other information that could directly identify you.
	</li>
</ol>

11. Show/hide field/section based on the other field selection

Syntax: Needs to add the 'ng-show' tag to implement the show/hide logic

Code Block
languagehtml
<div ng-show="ectx.statements.C0003=='N'" >
 <p> .... </p>
 <label class="radio-inline">
  ......
 </label>
</div>

Example: When a user clicks on the “I agree to participate" option, the below section highlighted in red is enabled.

Example HTML for the above example:

View file
nameParticipant English 11 Nov - v1.0 (1).html

12. Mark consent statement non-editable with default selected.

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="clearfix" consent-question="M001">

          		<input name="M001" type="checkbox" ng-true-value="'Y'" ng-false-value="'N'"  ng-disabled="1 != 0"  ng-model="ectx.statements.M001" ng-init="ectx.statements.M001 =  'Y'"> </label> 
            <span>I consented for cancer study</span>
</div> 

13. Default custom value with non-editableMark consent statement editable with default selected.

Code Block
languagehtml
<input type="radio"<div class="clearfix" consent-question="M001">

          		<input name="health_info_described_inM001" valuetype="bothcheckbox" ng-model="true-value="'Y'" ng-false-value="'N'" ng-model="ectx.statements.M001" ng-init="ectx.statements.M001 = ectx.statements.M001 || 'Y'">
            <span>I consented for cancer study</span>
</div> 

14. Default custom value with non-editable

Code Block
languagehtml
<input type="radio" name="health_info_described_in" value="both" ng-model="ectx.customFields.health_info_described_in" 
ng-init="ectx.customFields.health_info_described_in =  'both'" ng-disabled="1 != 0"> 

1415. Make field mandatory based on other field value

Eg:1 - Make Guardian name custom field mandatory for Male patients.

Code Block
languagehtml
<div>
 <textarea class="form-control" ng-model="ectx.customFields.parentGuardianName" rows="1" ng-required="cpr.participant.gender == 'Male'"> </textarea>
</div>

Eg:2 - Make Guardian name custom field mandatory when site='Stanford Hospital'

Code Block
languagehtml
<div>
 <textarea class="form-control" ng-model="ectx.customFields.parentGuardianName" rows="1" ng-required="cpr.registrationSite == 'Stanford Hospital''"> </textarea>
</div>

Eg:3 - Make Participant Signature(signature) mandatory if Guardian signature(signatureAuthRep) is not entered

Code Block

  <label class="control-label">
   <span>Upload Paper Consent</span></label>
   <div user-input field="ectx.customFields.signedConsentFile" type="file">
     <div>
      <ec-file-uploader file="ectx.customFields.signedConsentFile" name="signedConsentFile" ng-required="(ectx.customFields.signature==null && ectx.customFields.signatureAuthRep ==null)"></ec-file-uploader>

<cancel>Cancelar</cancel>
</ec-page-nav-buttons>

1819. Configure headers and footer for the consent document print file: To configure this, you need to set the print template in OpenSpecimen settings as below. You can set the logo, stamp on headers, and footer, including page numbers.

Example: PDF

Example HTML code for the above document:

Code Block
languagehtml
<ec-print-template>
<div>
  <ec-page-header>
    <div class="clearfix" style="border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd; position:relative;height: 70px; background: #fff; display: inline-block; width: 100%; padding: 8px 8px;">
      <div style="float: left;">
        <img style="position: absolute; z-index: 1000; height: 60px; width: 450px;" src="https://bb.cuimc.columbia.edu/os-test/logo/RS2133_RS460_Columbia_CUIMC_H_B_RGB_A.png">
      </div>
    </div>
  </ec-page-header>

  <ec-page-footer>
    <table style="border-top: 2px solid #ddd; position:relative;height: 70px; display: inline-block; width: 100%; padding: 8px 8px;">

            <img style="height: 70px; width: 300px;"  src="https://bb.cuimc.columbia.edu/os-test/logo/cumc_stamp_hiccc.png">
          </td>
          <td style="text-align: right; padding: 10px;">
              <div id="osPageCounter" style="position: absolute; bottom: 12px; right: 5px;"> </div>
          </td>
        </tr>
      </tbody>
    </table>
  </ec-page-footer>
</div>
</ec-print-template>

...
