Program Description:
This half-day symposium will present findings from recent empirical studies that examined the most effective ways of addressing three possible threats to informed consent in mental health research:
Compromised cognitive capacity to make decisions pertaining to research
participation;
the so-called ���therapeutic misconception,��� in which patients mistake
clinical research for individually-tailored therapy; and
the manner in which information is communicated to potential
participants.
The symposium will consist of keynote talks by leading researchers in mental health research ethics, responses by leading experts in culture competence and mental health consumerism, and discussion with participants.
