Developing Strategies to Facilitate Consent of Legally Authorized Representatives to Clinical Trials

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Critical Illness, Loss of Consciousness

In brief

This study aims to gather insights into the perceptions of legal representatives regarding the recruitment process for clinical trials in the intensive care setting when the patients cannot decide for themselves. With this information, effective strategies will be developed to increase involvement and the feeling of ownership of LARs of (potential) participants in clinical trials and thus enhance and facilitate patient recruitment for clinical trials. The single-arm study design does not include a choice of comparator, as the focus of this trial is to explore the perceptions of the participants at first hand without comparing different cohorts or strategies.
