Complete anonymity exists if the subject’s identity cannot be linked, even by theresearcher, with his or her individual responses. Deception is deliberately not disclosing all aspects of the study to the subjects.Informed consent means that the subject has been told about all aspects of the study including the risk/benefit ratio and agrees to participate.
