Brief Summary
People who are invited to take part in health research are usually given written information, such as invitation letters, and information sheets. These documents are essential because they help people understand what the study involves and decide whether they want to take part. However, many studies have shown that research information is often too complex, too long, or written in technical language. This can make it difficult for people to fully understand the study and give informed consent. This study aims to assess how clear, accessible, and acceptable draft research documents are for a proposed future doctoral study related to thoracic aortic disease. Thoracic aortic disease is a long-term condition that requires regular monitoring, and people in surveillance programmes may be invited to take part in research. It is therefore important that study information is clear, sensitive, and easy to understand. In this study, staff and students from the University's School of Health Sciences will be asked to review draft recruitment materials. These materials include a study invitation, an information sheet, and interview guide. Participants will be asked to give feedback on how easy the documents are to read, whether the information is clear, whether the tone feels appropriate, and whether the amount of information feels reasonable. The study will also use a standard readability tool to assess whether the documents are written at a level suitable for the public. This research does not involve patients and is considered low risk. Its purpose is to improve research materials before they are used with patients, helping to support informed consent, reduce confusion, and improve ethical and inclusive research practice in future studies.
