STUDY 3: EFFECTIVENESS OF CONSENT MONITORING IN AIDS CLINICAL TRIALS

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. As part of the PI's KO1 Award in Research Ethics, Study 3 will evaluate the effectiveness of a consent monitoring protocol as a means to improve AIDS Clinical Trial subjects' understanding of clinical trials in which they already enrolled. Specific aims are: (1) Assess study subjects' baseline understanding of different aspects of the consent form; (2) determining the effectiveness of an educational intervention to enhance subjects' actual understanding of the informed consent using a randomized controlled study design; and (3) compare differences in informed consent retention between subjects who received the educational intervention versus subjects who had not.
