Note that deleting a participant record does not automatically remove the specimens and vials added for that participant; all specimens and vials records associated with the participant record being deleted also need to be deleted manually via the SpecimenDetail webpart.
Participants Across Multiple Studies
In certain situations, participants consent to more than one study. In this case, the study team would enter a participant record for each study, noting the Participant ID of the other study to which the participant has consented in the Comments section. For example, the study team would create participant records in both studies ABC and XYZ using the participant’s study-specific participant ID. The study team must also note in the Comments section of the participant record “Same as ABC01_CMH_00000001” in the XYZ record, and “Same as XYZ_CMH_00000001” in the ABC record.
Note that this procedure is similar for specimen entry as well. Please see "Specimens Across Multiple Studies" for more details.
