Consent Tools

ConsentTools helps clinical research professionals understand and adopt evidence-based practices for the informed consent process. These practices assess and improve participant understanding of clinical trial information, and assist professionals in appointing legally authorized representatives when necessary. 

ConsentTools is supported by the Bioethics Research Center at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, MO. It was developed as part of a research study funded by the National Institute on Aging [1 R01 AG058254-01; PI James DuBois]. The aim of the study was to help clinical research professionals understand and adopt three evidence-informed practices for consent in clinical trials.
