This study evaluates the effectiveness of a patient-centered short written informed consent form and a patient-centered short video informed consent in a randomized controlled trial (control = traditional informed consent ). Primary outcome measures include critical knowledge acquisition, risk and benefit judgments, and desired enrollment in a hypothetical clinical trial. The investigators hypothesized that the patient-centered patient-designed consent forms (video and written format) would do as well as or outperform the traditional consent form on the primary outcomes.
