Program Title: How Informed Are Your Research Participants?
Location: Online Presentation
Speaker: Nadine Nemunaitis
Registration Fees: There is no registration fee for this event; open for all to attend.
Program Description: The informed consent process is one of the pillars of clinical research. Without an informed research participant, there would not be ethical clinical research. IRBs, Consent Writers, Clinical Research Coordinators, Research Nurses, Research Administrators and the Research Participant have a direct role in the overall quality of the informed consent process.
This session will provide insight into the results of a study that was conducted over 30 years which demonstrates research participants' understanding of the key elements that make up the consent document. In addition, attendees will be provided with a sample patient questionnaire that seeks to collect data that will assist the research site and IRB collaboratively measure research participant understanding at the local level. Finally, this session will also provide the mechanism, through tools and resources, by which sites and IRBs can collect data and identify actionable quality improvement opportunities.
Upon completion of this Webinar, attendees should be able to:
- Examine current trends surrounding Participants' understanding of informed consent in clinical trials through review of published results
- Demonstrate a collaborative strategy between a research site and an IRB in developing and implementing a patient questionnaire in order to measure a participant's understanding of the consent process
- Interpret patient questionnaire metrics that will lead to conclusions regarding the quality of the informed process at the research site
Target Audience: Coordinator/Site Coordinator (CRC), Research Administrator-Site, Research Nurse, Institutional Review Board/Ethics Committee
