LUMINA : Measure the Effectiveness of the Booklet Named "Comprendre Les Essais Cliniques"

Various studies have shown that many patients do not understand all the information provided by the study investigator and by the information sheet before entering a clinical research protocol. Many materials has been developped in previous research, trying to improve patients' understanding. Nonetheless, their effectiveness remains uncertain.

The "LUMINA" project aims to measure the effectiveness of the booklet named "Comprendre les essais cliniques" with patients included or not included in clinical trials within the Clinical Neurosciences - Rheumatology pole of the CHU de Nice. The design of this study is "before/after". A questionnaire was submitted to the patients before and after reading the booklet. That method is used in order to show if there was a difference between the score obtained from the questionnaire before and after reading. This difference could reflect an improvement in patients' comprehension and, by extension, the effectiveness of the support the team developed.
