Abstract:
An equitable and accessible informed consent process is needed to support agency and mutual decision-making. This systematic review aims to gather and characterise the evidence supporting methods that enhance inclusion and accessibility in informed consent practice for people with vision and/or hearing support needs. It will address the research question: what strategies are being used to enhance inclusive consent practice for people with vision impairment, people who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing, and people who are d/Deafblind. Additionally, the review aims to generate recommendations to facilitate the uptake of accessibility practices within informed consent procedures. This systematic review will build on current evidence for the positive impact of intentional actions to support accessible communication and information exchange. It may guide future work on intervention development and primary research in improving equity in clinical care and research.
