Making clinical trial consent easier for legal representatives
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial is designed to improve how legally authorized representatives (people who make medical decisions for patients) understand and agree to join clinical studies. The goal is to see if simpler consent processes help representatives feel more comfortable giving permission.
