Deciding about research for others: a feasibility study and effectiveness trial of a novel decision support intervention for consultees and legal representatives of adults lacking capacity to consent (CONSULT)

This fellowship aims to support the inclusion of adults lacking capacity in research through improving decision-making by the family members involved. This will be achieved through understanding the barriers and facilitators to implementing the novel decision-support tool, exploring the feasibility of the tool and outcome measures being developed, and establishing whether the decision-support intervention is effective in improving the quality of decision-making by family members.
