  3. The rationale for a new approach to IRB education Joe Breault

  4. Traditional vs. New Approach • The traditional approach to IRB education involves: • Long documents • Boring regulations • Presenting everything up front instead of as needed • Who actually reads it all? • The 1-pager approach to IRB education: • Presents a graphical 1-page sheet with the key concepts of a topic • Has many links to click thru to detailed info on an as needed basis • Much more likely to be read and understood

  5. Edward Tuftehttp://www.edwardtufte.com • American statistician and professor emeritus of political science, statistics, and computer science at Yale University • He is noted for his writings on information design and as a pioneer in the field of data visualization • I attended a 1 day workshop of his and got inspired about new ways to present info

  6. Tufte’s Approach to Info • “It's all about the relationship between the viewer and the information on the screen, and the viewer's cognitive tasks in looking at that information.” source • So to redo IRB education focus on how the person interacts with the info presented; rather than focusing on getting the info carefully spelled out like an encyclopedia. • Here are a few examples of info that could be a small book or large essay, but was made into a 1-pager to quickly communicate key ideas:

  7. What IRB topics are good for 1-pagers? • Devices • Expedited review • Emergency use • Compassionate use • HUDs • Exempt from IRB review • Non-compliance • Waiver of Consent • What else? • Criteria: • High use topic • Useful at IRB meeting, or by expedited reviewer or IRB staff • Convertible to graphic or flowsheet • Method Used: • Content expert • Work with graphic artist • Great idea of how to do it • Continuously improve

  8. Studying the new approach for effectiveness Lydia Bazzano

  9. Methods • A brief 9 item survey instrument with was designed to increase awareness of and evaluate the effectiveness of IRB educational one-page reference sheets. • The anonymous survey was administered via SurveyMonkey (www.surveymonkey.com) and sent by email to all IRB panel members and alternates on September 20th.

  10. Methods

  11. Methods • 19/58 (32.8%) IRB members or alternates responded to the survey instrument • Of those, 2 (10.5%) provided open text responses suggesting additional education topics to be included as one page reference sheets
