The Board determined that the five experiments proposed in the document entitled “Protocols for use of Human Subjects”, represented Minimal Risk and recommended the following changes: (a) All Protocol Consent Forms: (1) All protocols consent forms should include the following three paragraphs: At the conclusion of the study, you will be told the détails of the analysis, the statistical outcome of your contribution, and the overall outcome of the ex- periment. At all times, the confidentiality of your participation in this experi- ment will be protected. Your name will not be used. Reference to you in re- cords of this experiment and in any published results will be coded or in consolidated form. Similar research in other laboratories has shown that no health risks are in- volved in participating in this type of experiment. This field of research, how- ever, is deemed by some to have no scientific foundation. Some friends or col- leagues, therefore, may consider your participation to indicate a belief in the occult or paranormal. While, to the knowledge of the investigators, no one has suffered career damage from participating in scientific research of the type we are proposing, you should realize that your credibility with some per- sons might be damaged if you should chose to reveal your participation in this experiment. In addition, there is no reason to believe that, having participated in studies such as this you will be able to use your abilities for specific personal gain. Occasionally, participants come to believe that they possess the capacity to use so-called psychic skills for personal profit in risk-taking situations (e.g., participating in games of chance or speculative investments). Some individu- als who have participated in experiments of this kind have acted on such as- sumptions to their apparent disadvantage. Thus, the risk exists that you may come to believe that you havea skill that you may not possess. You are advised of this risk and warned that you assume responsibility for any assumptions which you make about your personal skills or capabilities. - (2) Add to paragraph 5 in allconsent forms: Storage of all Records pertaining to your contribution to this study will be locked in cabinets within the SAIC Menlo Park facility, Including this change paragraph 5 now reads as follows: At the conclusion of the study, you will be told the details of the analysis, the statistical outcome of your contribution, and the overall outcome of the ex- periment. At all times, the confidentiality of your participation in this experi- ment will be protected, Your name will not be used. Reference to you in re- cords of this experiment and in any published results will be coded or in consolidated form. Storage of all Records pertaining to your contribution to this study will be locked in cabinets within the SAIC Menlo Park facility. Approved For Release 2000/08/08 : CIA-RDP96-00789R003100260001-9
