Assessment of Informed Consent Understanding: HIV Vaccine Trials in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti

Introducing the HIV vaccine trials to research naive populations, particularly those in resource-limited settings of less industrialized countries, may include many obstacles.

Higher levels of education predicted successful performance on informed consent assessments. Efforts to measure appreciation in lieu of information retention of informed consent may mitigate the effects.
