Background: - Very few people with cancer participate in clinical trials. Some are uncertain about the treatment, or are afraid of being treated like a guinea pig. They may also feel that they have inadequate information about the trial. One possible way of encouraging people to sign up for clinical trials is to improve the informed consent process. Researchers want to understand how people read and understand informed consent documents. Objectives: - To study perspective taking, and to study how people understand the information and enrollment process for a clinical trial. Eligibility: - Healthy volunteers at least 18 years of age. Design: - This study will require one study visit. - Participants will watch one of four movie clips. They will be asked to respond to the film by looking at it from the main character s perspective. They will then answer questions about how the clips made them feel. - Participants will read a sample cancer clinical trial consent form on a computer. The computer will record their eye movements while they read the text. They will then be asked whether they remember the information in the consent form, and whether they would participate in the trial. - No treatment will be provided as part of this study.

In most current academic anesthesia groups, it appears that consent for research is acquired on the day of surgery. This practice raises concerns because the hospital may be regarded as a coercive environment and there may be the possibility that the immediate preoperative environment prohibits adequate time for understanding the research project and making an informed decision about participation. However, this is often the only opportunity for anesthesiologists to obtain research consent. The aim of the present investigation is to utilize a survey study to determine if patients at Evanston Hospital are comfortable consenting for research on the day of surgery
Informed consent/assent in pediatric medicine is an accepted and important practice that has been rarely studied, tested for quality, or optimized for patient satisfaction. In the pursuit of enhancing and studying pediatric care, the investigators propose, as pediatric gastroenterologists, assessing the current state of parental and adolescent consent/assent in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy and offering a computer based education program to improve it. The investigators will look at outcomes that include anxiety, satisfaction, attainment of informed consent, and patient flow efficiency in a GI endoscopy suite.
