San Antonio TX, 78230
Event Description:
As efforts are made to enroll more diverse people in clinical trials, including those who are considered vulnerable from among minority populations and the elderly, those for whom English is a second language, and/or those from lower social economic backgrounds, their understanding of informed consent forms (ICFs) and the entire informed consent process becomes ever more important to the successful conduct of research. ICFs are often too detailed, technical, and not written in the appropriate reading levels for the potential trial participants most of interest in particular studies. Further, due to pressures to meet enrollment timelines, many patients enroll into studies with a poor understanding from the informed consent process of the possible risks and benefits and what is expected of them to remain engaged. Not only is this unethical, it also leads to poor protocol adherence and poor patient retention. This webinar will address practical ways that stakeholders in research can help improve the creation of ICFs and better the overall process to ensure patients have a fuller understanding of the risks, commitment, and cost of agreeing to participate in a clinical trial.
