Assessing Clinical Trial Informed Consent Comprehension In Non-Cognitively-Impaired Adults: A Systematic Review Of Instruments, Laura Buccini, Don Iverson, Peter Caputi, Caroline Jones, Sheridan Gho

Don C. Iverson

This systematic review identifies and critically evaluates instruments that have been developed to measure clinical trial informed consent comprehension in non-cognitively-impaired adults. Literature searches were carried out on Medline (Ovid), PsycInfo, CINHAL, ERIC, ScienceDirect, and Cochrane Library for English language articles published between January 1980 and September 2008. Instruments were excluded if they focused on consent onto paediatric trials, the construct under study was primarily capacity or competency, or the instrument was developed specifically for psychiatric or cognitively-impaired populations. Instruments selected for review were evaluated against the following criteria: (1) method of item generation; (2) type and format of test …


Toward A Construct Definition Of Informed Consent Comprehension, Laura D. Buccini, Caroline Jones, Don Iverson, Peter Caputi Jun 2012

Toward A Construct Definition Of Informed Consent Comprehension, Laura D. Buccini, Caroline Jones, Don Iverson, Peter Caputi

Don C. Iverson

Variation in how informed consent comprehension tests have been developed may be largely due to the absence of a standardized construct definition. Developing a construct definition would provide a standardized framework for determining how an instrument should be constructed, implemented, interpreted, and applied. Therefore, we utilized the Delphi consensus approach with an international expert panel (N = 19) to gather knowledge, opinions and eventually consensus for a construct definition. Expert consensus was achieved after three revision cycles. While acknowledging that there are limitations to this study, it nonetheless should be considered as a step toward standardization of a construct definition …
