Debriefing statements provide research participants with essential information about the study, including its goals, withdrawal procedures, and resources for additional support.

Debriefing Statements:
“Debriefing” is a procedure that occurs at the conclusion of the human subject’s participation in the study (although, in cases that warrant it, a full debriefing may occur at the conclusion of the study), through which the subject is provided the opportunity to discuss with the researcher the details of the research. Accordingly, a debriefing statement is a statement that is given (or read) to the research participants at the conclusion of their participation in the study. In cases in which revealing the purpose or other details of the research may possibly compromise ongoing data collection, researchers may debrief research subjects fully after the completion of the data collection. Researchers debrief research participants to help ensure that the participants are fully restored to the condition in which they were prior to their involvement in the study, are informed of details they may not have known prior to participating in the study (e.g., deception that may have been employed and why), and are provided with appropriate resources and contact information.
Debriefing statements typically include the following (#2-6 stated in lay language):
Lafayette IRB requires a debriefing statement for studies involving deception and for those in which support resources are necessary to help minimize adverse effects to participants (unless a waiver is obtained). In most other cases, Lafayette IRB strongly recommends debriefing as an educational tool--as a way to provide additional information and resources to the research participants, to thank them for their participation, and to give them an additional moment to reflect on the study at its conclusion and ask questions of the researcher(s).
