Researchers can minimize harm by implementing a pre-screening procedure to identify and exclude potential participants who are at a high risk for adverse reactions. This risk reduction strategy can be accomplished during the informed consent process by explicitly warning individuals about sensitive topics so they can opt out, or by collecting preliminary data through questionnaires and clinical interviews to systematically screen for physical or psychological vulnerabilities before the study begins.

Pre-screening procedures to minimize research risks can only be conducted through formal clinical interviews and cannot be integrated into the standard informed consent process.
