When we think “informed consent process,” we very often think of an interaction that involves a written consent form. However, there are other ways of exchanging and documenting information, and some of those alternatives may be appropriate for certain low-risk studies. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published “an overview of innovative approaches to improving and expanding the informed consent process“ that acknowledges that the long, complicated consent form may not be the best approach for every study. New technologies have prompted us to think about different ways of exchanging information. What do you think? Would any of the approaches suggested here work for your research?
