A Survey of Patient's Attitudes Towards Consent For Clinical Research In Anesthesiology
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Phone call explaining the research project for Informed Consent. Completed, enrolled 200 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In most current academic anesthesia groups, it appears that consent for research is acquired on the day of surgery. This practice raises concerns because the hospital may be regarded as a coercive environment and there may be the possibility that the immediate preoperative environment prohibits adequate time for understanding the research project and making an informed decision about participation. However, this is often the only opportunity for anesthesiologists to obtain research consent. The aim of the present investigation is to utilize a survey study to determine if patients at Evanston Hospital are comfortable consenting for research on the day of surgery
