Implement and Test Visual Consent Template and Process

Study Purpose

The investigators plan to conduct a stepped wedge randomized control trial to implement and test the consent template and process in three studies. Randomization will occur at the research coordinator/research team level. Each participating research team member will begin in the standard consent arm of the study. Subsequently, they will be randomized to the visual key information page arm at staggered time points to undergo training and begin using the visual key information page with patients who are eligible for the selected research study.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

Yes
Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06804837
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Active Comparator: Research Staff: Standard Consent

Each participating research team member will begin in the standard consent arm of the study. The standard consent consists of a summary using text only.

Experimental: Research Staff: Visual Consent

After beginning in the standard consent arm, the research staff will then be randomized to the visual key information page arm at staggered time points to undergo training and begin using the visual key information page with patients who are eligible for the selected research study. Research staff will also complete a baseline survey to assess feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using visual consent pages as well as their institution's willingness and ability to implement using visual key information pages into routine care. Research staff will also complete a post-study survey on attitudes toward consent, the intervention (feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness of the intervention), organizational readiness for participant engagement, and willingness to continue the invention.

Experimental: Participants: Visual Consent

Participants will view the visual consent summary and will complete surveys with measures of knowledge, satisfaction with the information, decisional conflict, and potential covariates (i.e., demographics and health literacy).

Active Comparator: Participants: Standard Consent

Participants will view the standard consent consisting of summary text only and will complete surveys with measures of knowledge, satisfaction with the information, decisional conflict, and potential covariates (i.e., demographics and health literacy).
