Informed consent research, explained
4 open-access informed consent studies, each with a flashcard deck and a quiz.
- Can consent stay alive after enrolment?
Dynamic Consent is a personalised online platform for consent and communication so participants can be invited, updated, and followed as research uses change.
- Is broad biobank consent good enough?
Study-specific consent looks strict but fits biobanks poorly; a modified broad consent that is also ‘deep’ best protects participants on the authors’ criteria-based model.
- Can unconscious motives undermine transition consent?
After the Tavistock litigation, the authors argue that accepting medical transition to promote well-being is in someone’s best interests only if their transgender self-diagnosis is correct — and unconscious forces can undermine autonomy in children and adults.
- Should we nudge people into screening?
The help-bad-choosers argument says nudges fix deficient choosers; epistemic risk in screening (being wrong in knowledge-making, including false positives) undercuts that defence and even opt-out’s autonomy.
