Resumo

A good understanding of informed consent (IC) is a critical step to ensure that the participant's decision to participate in research is an informed and autonomous one. However, the IC is often a very complicated document, and sometimes difficult to be understood by lay people. The number of pages of the informed consent may be a factor that hinders in-depth reading and subsequently the understanding of IC. As the reading process requires visual attention, eye movements can reveal how deep the contents in the IC are read. The goal of this innovative study was to understand how the IC's number of pages IC influences reading. Sixty participants were randomly assigned in three experimental conditions (1 page Vs 2 pages Vs 3 pages) and eye movements were continuously recorded. Preliminary results have shown a distinct reading behavior between the different types of IC.
