- Title
How Should We Communicate the Likelihood of Risks to Inform Decisions about Consent?
- Authors
Rector, Thomas S.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the potential risks of research participation during the informed consent process and the identification of adverse effects to potential research subjects. It determined several contextual factors that can contribute to variation in the adverse effects such as interpretation of probabilistic words and numerical terms. It states that the use of numbers rather than words can make a difference in decisions involving adverse medical effects.
