项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): Consent forms serve to guarantee that human beings participating in research are fully informed of their rights and of the procedures, risks, and benefits of any studies they agree to join. One significant problem accruing to the process of obtaining informed consent concerns the presentation of the necessary information. To ensure that complete information is conveyed, many consent forms are long and couched in technical language. Such complex language may not be suitable for target populations where literacy levels are low. Much of the research aimed at improving participant comprehension has focused on the readability of the consent forms. Such research does not, however, consider whether printed material is simply inadequate as a means of communication for individuals who have difficulty reading. Little research has examined the use of alternative media as a means of increasing accessibility of consent material for low-literacy populations. Because the poor and children of the poor are at especially high risk for a variety of health, educational, and social ills, it is particularly important that they be represented in studies addressing problems to which they are vulnerable. For this reason, research to learn how to increase the degree to which low-income parents understand the purposes of research involving their children and the effectiveness of the recruitment and consent process is particularly important. The research proposed herein is designed to (a) examine the readability and comprehensibility of currently employed consent forms, and (b) examine the media through which information is communicated to low-literacy subjects, represented by the parents of Head Start children. This will include the development of materials in alternative media (such as videotape enhancement, and interactive multimedia presentations) and testing subjects' comprehension of information presented, and their willingness to consent to their children's participation in research as a function of these various media.

描述（改编自研究者的摘要）：同意书用于确保参与研究的人们充分了解情况他们的权利以及任何研究的程序、风险和收益他们同意加入。过程中出现的一个重大问题获得知情同意涉及提供必要的信息信息。为了确保传达完整的信息，许多人同意表格很长并且用技术语言表达。如此复杂的语言可能不适合识字水平较低的目标人群。很多旨在提高参与者理解力的研究重点是同意书的可读性。然而，此类研究并不考虑印刷材料是否不足以作为一种手段为有阅读困难的人提供沟通。研究很少研究了使用替代媒体作为增加识字率低的人群可以获得同意材料。因为穷人和穷人的孩子面临着特别高的各种风险健康、教育和社会弊病，尤其重要的是，参与解决他们容易遇到的问题的研究。为此，需要研究如何提高低收入父母了解涉及他们的研究的目的儿童，招募和同意程序的有效性特别重要。本文提出的研究旨在 (a) 检查当前使用的同意书的可读性和可理解性表格，以及 (b) 检查传达信息的媒体低识字科目，以启蒙儿童的父母为代表。这将包括替代媒体材料的开发（例如录像带增强和交互式多媒体演示）和测试受试者对所提供信息的理解以及他们的意愿同意他们的孩子参与研究作为这些的功能各种媒体。
