Informed Consent Forms (DCJ5-003(a) and DCJ5-003(b)):
Records documenting the informed consent process. After the completion of a study, informed consent forms and supporting documentation must be retained for a minimum of three years. If researchers had access to protected health information (PHI) during the study the retention period is six years. In some cases, such as with longitudinal studies, the study itself will require longer retention periods than those listed here.

Program Reports (DCJ5-002(a) and DCJ5-002(b)):

Also documents department reporting in compliance with outside requirements, to present program research, and to document department activities. Includes narrative, statistical reports, and supporting information in a variety of formats. Documents both adult and juvenile community justice programs.
