Publisher's Synopsis
This DVD introduces the concept of truly informed consent in research to underline the importance of the research participant's understanding of the risks and benefits (if any) of the research study they are volunteering for. A film-within-a-film insert provides an informative interlude, thus stimulating and maintaining the learner's attention. Produced as part of a completed federal grant awarded by NIH/NCRFR to Friends Research Institute, Inc., the video has an authentic consent enactment, using a diverse, multi-ethnic and gender cast. What to Know About Informed Consent is a pleasant introduction to a topic that might otherwise be dry and boring. This DVD is perfect for potential research subjects, physicians, nurses, research scientists, study personnel, hospital administrators, and IRB staff and members!
