N2 - Ethical requirements of informed consent stipulate that patients approached to participate in a clinical trial be provided with written information that must cover key aspects of the trial. For consent to be deemed “informed”, potential participants should be provided with a range of information about the trials (e.g., the trial aims, the anticipated benefits and potential risks of the trial, and their right to withdraw consent at any time). However, it is well documented that simple provision of this information does not ensure that participants make truly informed decisions. Decision aids, tools that have been shown in a treatment and screening context to support better-quality decisions, are emerging as a possible vehicle to support decision making about trial participation. However, information on how they should best be developed and evaluated in a clinical trial context is lacking. Therefore, this article, drawing on theoretical and empirical insights, outlines a framework for the development and evaluation of decision aids for people considering taking part in a clinical trial.
