Computer-Generated Vs. Standard Informed Consent for HIV Research Studies

Status unconfirmed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: HIV Infections

In brief

The purpose of this study is to test an interactive multimedia informed consent (iMIC) computer program to see if the program can generate a consent form that potential participants in an HIV trial can understand. This study will also determine if these participants prefer the computer-generated consent form and associated interactive tools to a standard consent form written by researchers. Study hypothesis: 1) Participants who receive information about clinical trials from iMIC Consent Tutorials will answer more questions about the trial correctly than participants who receive information about clinical trials from standard paper consent forms. 2) Participants will rate the iMIC Consent Tutorials as having better usability and user satisfaction than standard paper consent forms.
