    + Measuring Voluntary Consent and Parental Perception of Control with Respect to Treatment Decision Making

    This proposed research will continue development of a new voluntary consent measure for parents making research-related treatment decisions for their seriously ill children. This project is a secondary data analysis of existing voluntariness data, gathered in acute care settings using a refined version of the Decision Making Control Instrument.
