Interactive Informed Consent and Decision Conflict

United States94 participantsStarted 2017-11-01

Plain-language summary

Informed consent for surgery can address the legal aspects while also being simple, informative, and empathic. It can help people confirm that the potential harms are acceptable in light of the potential benefits. Standard consent forms just document this process, while a computer-based, interactive consent process can also standardize and potentially enhance it.
