RED 732 | Research Participant Advocacy and the Informed Consent Process
Class Description: The process of informed consent will be considered from the research participant's perspective. What is Good Clinical Practice (GCP) when addressing participant questions and concerns? How can the informed consent process be improved for the participant? What do your participants truly understand, consent to, and wish they knew more about? How does Health Literacy impact the informed consent process in clinical research? What is therapeutic misconception and how can it be avoided? These questions and other "hot topics" will be the focus of discussion in this open forum presentation.

Class Description: Data collection and management in clinical research studies sounds simple, but pitfalls are common and usually lessons are learned the hard way. This course will discuss key concepts in thinking about accurate and adequate data collection in clinical research studies. We will focus heavily on how to assure data are collected sensibly, practically, and with purpose. We will discuss in detail how to assure that appropriate data elements are collected to support the study outcomes. We will also discuss pitfalls and mishaps in data collection and identify methods to avoid problems and erroneous or missing data. We will also review regulatory aspects of data collection, often underappreciated by researchers, and other administrative issues that can impact your data. Finally, we will discuss the function and purpose of a Data Coordinating Center and approaches for multi center data…
