Identify the components of informed consent, including capacity to consent, and the substitute decision maker"s role. Distinguish between anonymity and confidentiality, explaining the meanings of anonymous, anonymized, and coded participant information. Confidentiality refers to a condition in which the researcher knows the identity of a research subject, but takes steps to protect that identity from being discovered by others. Anonymity is a condition in which the identity of individual subjects is not known to researchers. Coded information direct identifiers are removed from the information and replaced with a code. Depending on access to the code, it may be possible to re-identify specific participants (e. g. , the principal investigator retains a list that links the participants" code names with their actual names so data can be re-linked if necessary).
