SUMMARY:Webinar on Issues with Consent Documents
DESCRIPTION:Overview: The consent document tends to be the source of m
 uch frustration for both research participants, research team members,
  and the IRB reviewers who must review and approve the document and pr
 ocess before it is implemented. Although the regulations default to a 
 written consent document, consent is more than just a document, it is 
 a process.\nCommon complaints are that the consent form is not written
  at a 6th to 8th grade level and that IRB reviewers word-smith the con
 sent form. Other common issues surround the risks section and mandator
 y language that increase the reading level of a consent document. In t
 his webinar, we will discuss some common literacy trends, issues with 
 consent documents and tips to enhance the consent process.Why should y
 ou attend: According to current statistics, more than 90 million peop
 le in the United States have a hard time understanding and using healt
 h information. This is as many people as there are in France, Belgium 
 and the Netherlands. To respond to this growing needed, President Obam
 a signed the Plain Writing Act of 2010 and two other executive orders 
 to cover the use of plain language. Use of Plain Language gets researc
 hers closer to the historically used 6th to 8th grade level as the tar
 get for written consent documents. There are other tips as well that c
 an improve the readability and acceptably of a consent document. This 
 webinar will provide information to help improve written consent docum
 ents and consent processes.\n\nSpeaker :\nSarah Fowler-Dixon, PhD, CIP
