Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The investigators plan to conduct a stepped wedge randomized control trial to implement and test the consent template and process in three studies. Randomization will occur at the research coordinator/research team level. Each participating research team member will begin in the standard consent arm of the study. Subsequently, they will be randomized to the visual key information page arm at staggered time points to undergo training and begin using the visual key information page with patients who are eligible for the selected research study.

- description
- After beginning in the standard consent arm, the research staff will then be randomized to the visual key information page arm at staggered time points to undergo training and begin using the visual key information page with patients who are eligible for the selected research study. Research staff will also complete a baseline survey to assess feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of using visual consent pages as well as their institution's willingness and ability to implement using visual key information pages into routine care. Research staff will also complete a post-study survey on attitudes toward consent, the intervention (feasibility, acceptability, appropriateness of the intervention), organizational readiness for participant engagement, and willingness to continue the invention.
