At any time during the study, you can 'Withdraw Consent' from the study by pressing the ‘Withdraw Consent’ button located at the bottom of the expanded study information.

If you press on the ‘Withdraw Consent’ button it will display a ‘Reason for Withdrawal’ text box where you can add your reason for withdrawal. Once you add a Reason for Withdrawal, you can then either ‘Cancel' or ‘Confirm'. If you press the ‘Cancel’ button, you will be navigated back to the ‘My Studies' screen.

Note: The ‘Reason for Withdrawal’ is a required field, therefore, if you do not enter text in there, you will receive an error message and the ‘Confirm' button will be disabled. If you do not wish to specify a specific reason, you can insert any text like 'no longer interested' or 'not applicable' and select the ‘Confirm' button.

Once you enter a Reason for Withdrawal, if you press the ‘Confirm’ button, the study will display as ‘Pending Withdrawal’. At this point, the Research Coordinator will review and acknowledge your withdrawal. Once the Withdrawal is acknowledged by the Research Coordinator, your Enrollment Status will change to ‘Inactive’.

You will not receive any further email communications after withdrawing from a study.

Note: If you Withdraw from a Study, you will no longer be able to see any study related information and uncompleted PROs for that Study will not be listed. You will still have your account available to you if you wish to join other studies in the future. If not, you can delete your account on Engage by navigating to the bottom of the Profile Page (explained in a later section below).
