Category Primary study
Registry of Trialsclinicaltrials.gov
Year 2023
The goal of this clinical trial (the SIMPLY-SNAP trial) is to compare a simplified layered consent form to a full-length consent form for use during the informed consent process for a larger clinical trial of treatment of Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infection (the SNAP trial). The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does use of a simplified layered consent form lead to an increased recruitment rate to the SNAP trial? * Does use of a simplified layer consent form lead to increased participant understanding of the SNAP trial and increased participant satisfaction with the informed consent process? Participants will be randomized to either the full-length informed consent form or the simplified layered consent form containing links to optional supplementary information or videos. Research staff will use the assigned form to explain the SNAP trial to participants. After consent, participants will be evaluated on their understanding of the SNAP trial and satisfaction with the consent process using a questionnaire.
