Recommendation ID
CG135/4
Question
Improving consent rates:- What are the key components of an intervention to improve consent rates?
Any explanatory notes
(if applicable)
Why this is important:- Currently, the evidence for improving consent rates consists mainly of observational reports of complex interventions, with most studies being of limited follow-up. Further research is needed to identify the components, or combinations of components, of the identified interventions that are effective in increasing consent rates. These studies should have an appropriate length of follow-up to ensure a sustained impact in the longer term.
