Effective Community Consultation for Prehospital EFIC Research: Lessons from a 20-Site Pediatric Trial

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of community consultation (CC) and public disclosure (PD) strategies used in the Pediatric Dose Optimization for Seizure in EMS (PediDOSE) trial, particularly in the context of federal Exception from Informed Consent (EFIC) research. Their findings highlighted the importance of utilizing paid social media for broader outreach and recommended strategies for engaging diverse community stakeholders, including children and minoritized populations, to enhance the effectiveness of CC/PD activities in future EFIC studies.
