Can a video help new parents make informed choices about biobanking?
NCT ID NCT06192511
First seen Jul 31, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new electronic consent process that uses an educational website and video to explain newborn screening and the Michigan BioTrust biobank. Researchers will ask new mothers at four hospitals to complete surveys about their understanding and feelings about the consent process. The goal is to see if this approach improves knowledge and decision-making for patients and staff.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Educational website and video about newborn screening and biobanking
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to better-informed consent practices for newborn screening and biobanking, improving patient understanding and decision-making.
- What could go wrong
- The study is early and focuses on implementation, so it may not change practice broadly. Also, results depend on how well the education materials work across diverse populations.
