Addendum for Reconsenting Subjects Who Subsequently Turn 18 Years of Age

Your parent/guardian signed the attached consent and/or privacy authorization form to allow you to take part in a research study. Now that you have reached the age of 18, it is your right to decide whether or not you would like to continue to take part. The form(s) describes all aspects of the research study. You have probably finished some parts of the study. Research study staff will explain the entire study to you, including the risks, benefits and other options you have. They will also explain what parts of the study you still have to complete.

Your continued participation is important to us and to the research project, but it is equally important that you understand that your staying in this research study is entirely voluntary. You may decide to quit the study at this point without penalty and without loss of benefits you would otherwise be entitled to. You will not be treated differently by your doctors or by anyone associated with this study if you decide to stop.

Please sign the form(s) if you are willing to continue in the study. You will receive a copy of the form(s) you sign for your records.

I have read the attached consent form or it has been read to me. I have freely decided to continue to take part in the research study described. The reason(s) for doing the research, procedures, possible risks and benefits, and my non-research options have been explained to me.
