ICFs, or Informed Consent Forms, should be written at a 6th-8th grade reading level. This is because ICFs contain important information that individuals may need to understand in order to give informed consent, and it is important that this information be easily understood by a wide range of individuals. Writing at a college level may be too complex for some readers, while writing at a 9th-12th grade level may still be difficult for others. Writing at a 5th grade level or below may be too simplistic and may not fully convey the necessary information. Therefore, a 6th-8th grade reading level strikes a balance between being understandable and comprehensive for a diverse group of individuals.
