Rationality and Bias in the Consent Process: Perspectives from Behavioral Economics and the Social Sciences
Bloomberg School of Public Health
615 N. Wolfe Street,
Baltimore, MD 21205 View Map Link
Social science and behavioral economics have taught us a considerable amount about how decision-making can be affected by a large range of biases, intentional and unintentional. In this conversation, faculty from disciplines including behavioral economics and physician-patient relationship studies will explore issues of rationality and bias in informed consent. We will conclude by exploring a research agenda that could improve the consent process.
Joshua Ewen, Mario Macis, Douglas Hough, and Debra Roter
