Instructions: Federal regulation requires that any Adverse Events associated with participation in a research study be
reported to the IRB. The U.S. Department of Health & Human Services defines an Adverse Event as follows:
Any untoward or unfavorable medical occurrence in a human subject, including any abnormal sign
(for example, abnormal physical exam or laboratory finding), symptom, or disease, temporally
associated with the subject’s participation in the research, whether or not considered related to the
subject’s participation in the research (modified from the definition of adverse events in the 1996
International Conference on Harmonization E-6 Guidelines for Good Clinical Practice).
