Informed consent is the ethical and legal principle requiring that individuals be given clear, adequate information about a procedure, study, or treatment's risks and benefits before agreeing to participate. It's central to medical practice, clinical research, and human-subjects research, ensuring autonomy and voluntary participation. Healthcare providers, researchers, and ethics boards rely on informed consent processes to protect patient and participant rights.
