Dickert及其同事（2020）在听取患者利益相关者关于改进同意过程的意见时承认，患者非常重视在同意之前、期间和之后与研究人员和调查人员的互动，但他们仍然将大部分分析集中在同意书本身。最近的研究表明，如果研究人员希望对招生决策产生可衡量的影响，他们应该更多地关注在潜在参与者收到同意书之前发生的互动。例如，在某些情况下，招聘材料在决策方面可能比同意书发挥更大的作用。参与者也可以与家人、朋友、医生或其他人一起做出决定。然而，可以说最被忽视的是研究协调员或其他招聘人员在研究团队和潜在参与者之间连接和传递信息方面所起的作用。改善研究决策的干预措施通常不涉及协调者的角色。Dickert及其同事正确地指出，那些与潜在参与者互动的人应该传达“可信度、专业知识和同情心”，但他们既没有探索实现这些目标的具体方法，也没有确定可能阻碍研究人员这样做的障碍。本评论将认为，在审查同意书之前，必须更多地关注整个招募和登记过程中的互动。我们还将提出一个研究议程，以深入了解什么构成
In engaging patient stakeholders’ views on improving the consent process, Dickert and colleagues (2020) acknowledge that patients place a high value on interactions with research staff and investigators before, during, and after consent, but they nevertheless focus most of their analysis on the consent form itself. Recent work suggests that researchers should pay greater attention to the interactions that occur before prospective participants receive a consent form if they wish to make a measurable impact on decisions about enrollment. For instance, recruitment materials may play a larger role in decision-making than consent forms in some cases. Participants may also engage with family members, friends, physicians, or others to make their decisions.What has arguably been most neglected, however, is the role that research coordinators or other recruitment staff play in connecting, and transmitting information between, research teams and prospective participants. Interventions to improve research decision-making do not typically attend to the coordinator’s role. Dickert and colleagues rightly point out that those who interact with prospective participants should convey “trustworthiness, professional expertise, and compassion,” but they neither explore specific approaches to achieve these goals nor identify barriers that may prevent research staff from doing so. This commentary will argue that more attention must be paid to interactions throughout recruitment and enrollment that occur before review of the consent form. We will also propose a research agenda to gain an in-depth understanding of what constitutes
