PARTICIPANT REMUNERATIONS
Participants will receive monetary compensation commensurate with level of involvement
and effort. Participant remunerations will be of equal monetary value across centers, with the
amount noted in earlier sections of the study protocol. However, the way this remuneration
is distributed, e.g., type of gift certificates, checks, etc., will vary across centers, and will be
in accordance with local IRB and financial regulations.

PARTICIPANT SAFETY
Participant safety will be monitored through center specific guidelines. Study-related
adverse events will be documented on the Event Reporting Form and submitted to the
Coordinating Center. An external reviewer will review all events reported on the Event
Reporting Form and report findings to the SEARCH Protocol Oversight Committee.

RESULTS
Participants (or their parent/guardian if <18 years of age) will be given all clinically relevant
test results based on samples collected during their study visits. Transmission of results will
be based on the age of the participant at the time that the results become available. If the
participant’s parent agreed to have the samples drawn but the participant is at least 18 years
of age when the results become available, then the participant will be notified of the results.
