15, 2018, 3644 participant referrals have been received from the IDEAS-Study. Of those referred, 3034 (83%) have been contacted, and connections have been made with 2319 (76%) potential participants. Of those contacted, 311 (13%) have declined to participate. Thus far, 2008 participants decided to review either the paper consent (1264, 63%) or the online consent (744, 37%). To date, 937 (47%) have completed the consent process. The majority of participants completed the paper consent process (604, 64%) rather than the online consent process (333, 36%). Over 80% of consented individuals have returned their filled saliva kit. Conclusions: An innovative consenting approach was developed that has allowed participants to be consented by video or traditional paper consent off-site. While it is unexpected that participants generally chose paper consents over the online process, it can be anticipated that this novel approach to consenting is an important new direction for research participation.
