The Multi-Regional Clinical Trials Center of Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard developed this free, online training. The training aims to help Human Research Protection Programs and Institutional Review Boards support research study participants by applying health literacy best practices to their reviews of participant-facing materials. It introduces the concept of health literacy and how it applies to the review and approval of clinical research.
The training includes the following:
- An introductory, informative video
- Teach-back questions to amplify lessons from the video
- Before-and-after examples to show how health literacy techniques can be used to simplify research materials
- A before-and-after activity for trainees to apply those techniques to sample exercises
- A quiz to reiterate key takeaways
- An evaluation to share trainee feedback about the training with the MRCT Center
- A Certificate of Completion
The training is designed to be self-guided. After completing the training, someone at your organization can lead a team discussion about this content using the Facilitator’s Guide.
