Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Effect of Electronic Informed Consent Information (EICI) on Residual Newborn Specimen Research (NCT NCT03141307)

NCT ID: NCT03141307

Last Updated: 2019-10-01

Results Overview

Questions based on the 16-item biobank checklist developed from consensus-based guidelines for adequate comprehension for biobanking (see Beskow et al. 2014). This measure assesses a person's understanding of the Michigan BioTrust program. Scale range: 0-1 The reported scale is derived from the number of correct answers divided by 20 for a percentage correct. Thus, a score of .6 indicates a 60% correct response rate. Higher values indicate more comprehension of the presented information. Lower values indicate less comprehension of the presented information.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Administered immediately after the intervention

Population: The analysis population differs from the number of participants enrolled because the initial 15 to 20 participants at each hospital were considered to be run-in participants during which the protocol was evaluated for its effectiveness at that site and adjusted as needed. Our analysis plan was written to exclude these run-in participants.

Questions based on the 16-item biobank checklist developed from consensus-based guidelines for adequate comprehension for biobanking (see Beskow et al. 2014). This measure assesses a person's understanding of the Michigan BioTrust program. Scale range: 0-1 The reported scale is derived from the number of correct answers divided by 20 for a percentage correct. Thus, a score of .6 indicates a 60% correct response rate.

The Quality of Informed Consent assesses how well the participant self-reports their understanding different aspects of the study he/she consented into (Joffe et al., 2001). Scores range from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicating better self-reported understanding of the elements of consent. The scale is created by taking the mean of 14 items.

Assesses support of the Michigan BioTrust program. This is a single item assessment. Full scale range is 1 to 4. Higher values indicate more support of the Michigan BioTrust. The scale is a likert scale: 1 = Not supportive at all, 4 = Very supportive

This is a repetition of the Comprehension for Biobanking survey assessed immediately after the intervention. The residual Comprehension for Biobanking survey assesses a person's retention of knowledge of the Michigan BioTrust program two to 4 weeks after the intervention. Scale range: 0-1 The reported scale is derived from the number of correct answers divided by 20 for a percentage correct. Thus, a score of .6 indicates a 60% correct response rate. Higher values indicate more comprehension of the presented information. Lower values indicate less comprehension of the presented information.

Assessment of how well the participant understood different aspects of the study after a gap in time. The Residual Quality of Informed Consent is a repetition of the Quality of Informed Consent measure, now provided 2-4 weeks after the intervention. This measure assesses how well the participant self-reports their understanding different aspects of the study he/she consented into (Joffe et al., 2001). Scores range from 1 to 5 with higher scores indicating better self-reported understanding of the elements of consent. The scale is created by taking the mean of 14 items.

The Residual Decisional Regret measure assesses a person's feelings of regret after making a decision (in this specific case, participation in the Michigan BioTrust). Scores range from 1 to 5 with lower values indicating better outcomes due to less regret. The scale is created by taking the mean of 5 items.
