Addressing the knowledge gap: development of stakeholder-informed training to improve the inclusion of adults with impaired capacity to consent in trials
Alongside tools such as the INCLUDE Impaired Capacity to Consent Framework, the CONSULT e-learning course aims to support researchers to develop the knowledge and skills needed to design and conduct higher-quality trials that are more inclusive of adults who lack capacity to consent. Further engagement, including with funders who increasingly require inclusion as a condition of funding, is needed.
