Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The Patient Centered Virtual Multimedia Interactive Informed Consent tool (VIC) will be developed as a patient-centered web-based mobile application and will be able to run on mobile devices. The development of VIC is to create a reusable infrastructure for integrating the informed consent process into clinical care and the clinical workflow in a way that enhances patient comprehension while improving the efficiency of obtaining patient consent.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The informed consent process protects patients and ensures ethical conduct of research. For patients to fully understand the content of the informed consent process, it should clearly explain the purpose, process, risks, benefits and alternatives to medical procedures or clinical research as well as a patient's rights and responsibilities. Patient safety and quality of care are at risk if the informed consent process is not delivered in a way that assures patient comprehension.

Adoption of methods that allow researchers to conduct brief and virtual interviews with participants to complete the informed consent process using tablet computers (e.g. iPads) with a comprehensive multimedia library (e.g. video clips, animations, presentations, etc.) to explains the risks, benefits, and alternatives of the clinical care will enhance patient comprehension.

The goal of this project is to help make the conduct of patient centered outcomes research (PCOR) more efficient and more widely implemented by engaging key stakeholders, including patients, through the development and evaluation of a new mobile health (mHealth) informed consent tool to disseminate PCOR findings in informed consent research.

This study will be conducted over a 15 month period and will consist of 6 parts: (1) Front-End Focus Groups, (2) User Requirements Analysis, (3) Screen Prototypes Usability Focus Groups, (4) Design and Implementation, (5) Before Launch Usability Evaluation, (6) After Launch Usability Evaluation. Given the steps in the process and the changing (i.e. different) subjects/participants in each component of the development process, this study registration record primarily summarizes the final step in the development of VIC.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Evaluation Group

Researchers will conduct a focus group to evaluate VIC after it has been developed and used by patients. Six asthma patients will comprise this post-launch focus group, with the goal of gathering opinions, beliefs, and attitudes about VIC. We will use this information to enhance the generalizability of the VIC approach.
