Before people can join a research study, they need to provide informed consent. Informed consent is a process that helps people know
- What a study is about
- What will happen in the study
- The benefits and risks people may experience
- That they have a choice whether to join the study
Getting informed consent can take a long time, and people may not understand all the details. Researchers want to know what patients think about having short or longer discussions with doctors for studies with low risk. Low risk means the study's risks are no greater than those in daily life or from usual health care. In this study, the research team compared people's views about a shorter consent discussion for a study on blood pressure with the usual, longer discussion.
