Impact of Video-Enhanced Consent on Informed Decision-Making for Parents of Extremely Preterm Infants Eligible for the ViDES Study

The research team will introduce themselves and ask the parents to watch an informational video explaining the ViDES study on an iPad while they stay in the room with the parents. After viewing the video, the team will answer any questions and provide written consent and enough time to decide whether to participate in the study. The research team will also provide a QR code that grants parents/guardians access to the video on their own device at any time. This allows them to pause, rewind, and revisit the information.
