The purpose of the study is to evaluate a tool developed to evaluate whether information in an informed consent form is presented in plain language so that potential study participants can make informed decisions about whether to participate a clinical research study or not. Ultimately study teams will be able to use the tool to help guide them in creating easy to read and understandable research informed consent forms.
