Clinical question:How effective are interventions to promote informed con-sent for patients undergoing surgical and other invasive healthcare treatments and procedures?Bottom line:Most interventions to pro-mote informed consent included the use of written or audiovisual aids.Interventions improved knowledge of the planned pro-cedure immediately(≤24 h),in the short-term(1-14 days)and long-term(>14 days).Satisfaction with decision-making was increased,decisional conflict was reduced,and the length of consultation was slightly increased.There were no differences between the intervention and control groups regarding outcomes involving generalized anxiety,and anxiety or satisfaction associated with the consent process.
