Comparing Paper-based and Tablet-delivered Informed Consent for Older Adults

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Tablet-delivered Informed Consent, Paper-based Informed Consent

In brief

The investigators will develop and test a tablet-delivered informed consent process. In a preliminary phase of the study, older adults will provide feedback on a prototype tablet-delivered consent by participating in a focus group. In a separate second phase, older adults will be randomly assigned to a tablet-delivered or paper-delivered consent condition in which their comprehension of material covered in the consent will be assessed.
