What are the possible disadvantages, or risks, of taking part?
"It is not anticipated that there are any risks to participation in this study beyond those encountered during everyday life. There should be no adverse events that you will suffer from participating in the project, but if you do then please contact the chief investigator"
What the hell does that mean ?
It is a standard “informed consent” statement that appears (in similar form) in research involving volunteer participation. In other words, the researcher’s institution covering its butt.
