> That would still be better than everyone just guessing. Though of course not as good as being sure that everyone understood. Are you confident that everyone understands when informed consent is obtained in person?You seem to have persistent difficulties distinguishing individuals from groups and recognizing the particular relevance of individual circumstances. You know as well as I that in-person informed consent procedures provide for recognition of individuals unable due to incapacity or impairment to make truly informed consent. You might recognize that unethical practitioners can get those individuals through the process.
One wonders if your claim that 31 radio buttons are "more than a checkbox" is based on an assumption that in-person informed consent can be cheated, so why bother.
> I haven't meant to claim that this is a successful implementation of ideals. What I claim is that it's more ideal than a check box.What you claimed was "One workable way of assessing decision-making capacity online is with a quiz." The rebuttal was that a quiz tests quiz-taking skills in the context of the difficulty of the quiz, but provides no reliable assessment of decisional capacity among a significant minority of those quizzed.
> I understand the appeal of being a reviewer. Participating in a conference might lead to invitations to be a reviewer. Or maybe you receive enough of those already. Either way, it's up to you.Anonymous review of manuscripts is a pro-bono service that offers little or no appeal of reward for the reviewer.
> I've presented with members of the Babble community before and would be happy to do so again. It's an opportunity for the Babble and psychiatric communities to get to know each other better.
Is systematically asking guests of your forum to surrender their privacy part of your role as an medical-professional administrator, or is it more about providing support and education?
