Brief summary
Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.
This is a VA Merit Review Study involving 7 VA medical centers participating in a parallel group randomized trial comparing "repeat back" versus standard electronic consent for 4 common elective surgical procedures (total hip arthroplasty, carotid endarterectomy, laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and radical prostatectomy). Baseline covariates include health status (SF-12), reading ability (REALM), and demographics. Primary outcomes are patient comprehension of the informed consent, patient satisfaction with the informed consent and decision making processes, patient satisfaction with care, anxiety (STAI), and provider assessment of the "repeat back" process. In addition, we are electronically capturing data detailing time spent in each phase of the consent process including "repeat back".
