IMPORTANT NOTICE: Although WWARN uses reasonable care when documenting protocols and procedures, its liability for any content (or the use made of it) is necessarily limited. Some protocols and procedures have been designed as templates which can be modified and used by local investigators, field staff and researchers. Such templates do not contain every available consideration and may be affected by circumstances that could not have been anticipated or taken into account in generating them. Accordingly, WWARN and its contributors cannot accept any liability for any loss arising as a result of any reliance placed on these protocols and procedures.
