Counseling for women requesting sterilization: a comprehensive program designed to insure informed consent.

This paper describes the counseling program implemented by a social worker and a family planning counselor for female clinic patients requesting sterilization. Rather than limiting counseling to the guidelines for informed consent established by New York City law, a comprehensive approach is utilized. The program combines the provision of information regarding the procedure and contraceptive alternatives, with an opportunity for individuals to examine the psychosocial components of their request for sterilization. It is the authors' assessment that such comprehensive counseling is essential to provide individuals with the full assistance they need in making the decision to eliminate reproductive capacity, and that legal guidelines should be expanded accordingly.

Obtaining informed consent for mental health treatment.

A series of forms has been developed by staff at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Seattle in response to a Washington state law requiring that patients give informed consent to treatment. The forms, which describe the nature of the treatment and possible risks and benefits, follow four models: a single consent form that meets all the needs of a clinical unit; separate consent forms for various services of a clinical unit, such as medication or group or individual therapy; a limited-consent form combined with a brochure or fact sheet; and a consent form combined with a treatment contract. The authors report that use of the forms has required very little additional staff time and has not discouraged patients from entering treatment.

Informed consent by children and participation in an influenza vaccine trial.

Two hundred thirteen school children, ages six to nine, were presented the opportunity to participate in an experimental trial of swine influenza vaccine. In non-directive question and answer sessions, all groups of children except one composed only of six year olds elicited all relevant information on the details of the trial and the associated risks and benefits. Forty-six per cent of the subjects declined to participate. Letters requiring informed consent of the parents were sent to the homes of the others. Almost 15 per cent of these parents agreed to their children's participation. In this setting, children initiate their own visits to the school nurse practitioner. A significant association was found between volunteering for the study and higher use of services (but not for medical reasons). Younger children and boys, regardless of their patterns of use, were less inclined to volunteer for the experiment.
