Also – the regulations allow for the waiver of written consent when:
1)The only record linking the subject and the research would be the consent document and the principal risk is breach of confidentiality.  Each subject must be asked whether he/she wants documentation linking the subject with the research.

2) The research presents no more than minimal risk of harm and involves no procedures for which written consent is normally required outside the research context.
