We
contact
subjects
who
participated
in
previous
Carroll­

Loye
repellent
efficacy
tests
by
selecting
them
from
our
Volunteer
Database.
At
that
time
interested
individuals
often
ask
if
one
or
more
of
their
lab
mates
or
acquaintances
can
participate
as
well.
All
such
potential
participants
are
screened
or
re­
screened
for
suitability
for
each
test
in
a
private,
one­
on­
one
conversation
held
at
the
office
of
the
Principal
Investigator
(
PI).
The
Exclusion
Criteria
(
section
9.1.2)
are
exercised
by
asking
each
candidate
to
address
them
in
the
interview
with
the
PI.
It
is
explained
that
pregnancy
will
be
assessed
directly
in
on
the
test
day.
The
PI
encourages
candidates
to
ask
questions
and
ask
for
clarification
at
any
time
during
the
interview
and
in
all
activities
that
follow.
Consenting
procedures

To
candidates
that
pass
screening
the
PI
describes
the
test
purpose
in
plain
language
(
in
English),
and
the
procedures
and
comportment
to
be
followed
are
described
in
detail.
Candidates
are
then
asked
if
they
would
like
to
retire
from
consideration
at
that
point.
If
they
wish
to
remain
in
consideration,
it
is
explained
and
emphasized
that
they
may
withdraw
from
the
test
at
any
time
during
the
test
without
penalty
to
their
compensation.
Candidates
are
given
copies
of
the
State
of
California
Department
of
Pesticide
Regulation
`
Experimental
Subjects'
Bill
of
Rights'
to
read
as
the
PI
reads
it
aloud.
They
are
also
given
a
copy
of
the
IRB­
approved
consent
form
to
read
as
the
PI
reads
it
aloud.
The
amount
and
form
of
compensation
is
described.

They
are
again
encouraged
to
ask
any
questions
they
have
about
the
test,
which
may
include
understanding
its
purpose
more
fully,
understanding
risks
and
discomforts
more
fully,
and
understanding
treatment
and
compensation
for
injury
more
fully.

While
the
majority
of
our
subjects
have
worked
with
us
on
an
occasional
basis
for
a
number
of
years,
we
encourage
them
to
personally
evaluate
their
interests
and
concerns
about
participation
seriously
each
time.
Consenting
procedures

We
ask
them
not
to
sign
on
immediately
but
to
give
the
situation
due
consideration
(
normally
at
least
one
day,

sometimes
less
for
those
who
have
participated
in
multiple
prior
studies).
Because
most
of
the
volunteers
are
researchers
and/
or
have
advanced
degrees
in
life
sciences,
we
regard
their
motivations
and
decisions
to
participate
as
being
unusually
well
considered
and
well
informed.
Accordingly,
we
normally
accept
their
decisions
to
participate
if
they
so
choose
following
due
consideration.
Nonetheless,
the
PI
retains
the
final
right
to
refuse
participation
to
any
candidate.
