Although a Workaround to address this issue exists for the Register page, and another (that I have added to the Forums) exists for the Welcome page, this kind of functionality should be available as a standard feature. Users should not be required to write javascript code or to play around in the template area to reach this kind of functionality. A user should have the option to select (if so required) where the consent verification should be made: in the Register page, or in the Welcome page when registration is not required. A mechanisms to upload/download a pdf of the consent and authorization statement should be provided also. Users should be able to download the consent to which they are acquiescent. Many Institutional Review Boards require that a copy of the consent be provided to the users if so requested.

Hope to see this functionality added in LS1 and LS2!

I support this idea, but here's the workaround I've used.

As the first question (and group) of the survey, I set up a yes/no or list radio button question with the consent text. I also made a PDF of the consent form and put a link in it in the body of the consent text so they can download it.

Then I set all other questions in the survey to display only if the answer to the first question is "yes" or "I agree."

Not the most elegant solution, but it worked for my IRB and my respondents!
