Background/Aims: Participant understanding is a key element of informed consent for enrollment in research. However, participants often do not understand the nature, risks, benefits, or design studies which they take part.

Our objective this randomized study was compare ability range multimedia informational aids improve...

Conceptual can provide visual representation of specific research questions. They also show key components programs, practices, policies designed promote health. may improved guidance prevention intervention efforts if they based on frameworks that integrate social ecological...
Background/aims: In the context of research on medical practices, which includes comparative effectiveness and pragmatic clinical trials, empirical studies have begun to raise questions about extent institutional review boards’ interpretations applications regulations align with patients’ values. To better understand similarities differences between these stakeholder groups, we compare contrast two surveys: one board professionals patients, examine views consent for practices. Methods: We...
Background: Human subjects protection in health care contexts rests on the premise that a principled boundary distinguishes clinical research and practice. However, growing use of evidence-based practices by systems makes it increasingly difficult to disentangle from wide range activities are sometimes called "research medical practice" (ROMP), including quality improvement comparative effectiveness research.

The characterizes changing relationship between prevalence mortality morbidity as country progresses through 4 successive stages epidemic. Survey data from Southeast Asian Latino immigrants (from 1 2 countries) (n = 2,076) were used emigration. was compared with standard...
Background: Little research to date has investigated the spectrum of bladder health in women, including both function and well-being. Therefore, we expanded our previous baseline analysis Boston Area Community Health (BACH) Survey incorporate several additional measures bladder-related well-being collected at 5-year follow-up interview, one developed specifically for women. Methods: At follow-up, participants reported their frequency 15 lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS), degree life impact...
Abstract Background Bladder health is an understudied state and difficult to measure due lack of valid reliable instruments. While condition specific questionnaires assess presence, severity degree bother from lower urinary tract symptoms, the absence symptoms insufficient assume bladder health. This study describes methodology used validate a novel instrument spectrum very healthy unhealthy in population based clinical research. Methods Three samples women are being recruited: sample...
