We have to consider the ethical issues so as to ensure that the rights of the research subjects are protected through the informed consent. This will maintain the integrity of the researcher and maximize possible benefits from the subjects and minimize possible harm.
Our group has come out with a consent form for our participants' approval before they participate in the study.
The consent form includes the information about the study, necessary contacts, and inform the participants that the particulars will be kept confidential.

As we obtain the data, we will maintain the confidentiality of the subjects by not disclosing any personal information to any other parties and during anytime of our study.
Some of our participants signing the consent forms before beginning the study.
