A Tool to Assess Decisional Capacity to Consent for Clinical Treatment
EF 2010-11
Résumé
Determining a persons ability to make reasoned and authentic decisions surrounding health care can present ethical challenges especially when caring for clients suffering from addiction to substances such as alcohol or drugs. Public health care frequently involves engaging individuals whose capacity to consent may be impaired. Clinical assessments of decisional capacity have shown poor reliability and there is a need for reliable validated tools to ensure clients are providing informed consent for treatment and care. This study is aimed at developing, validating, and piloting a brief and easy-to-use tool to assist public health clinicians in making ethical decisions when delivering public health care.

Abstract
Determining a persons ability to make reasoned and authentic decisions surrounding health care can present ethical challenges especially when caring for clients suffering from addiction to substances such as alcohol or drugs. Public health care frequently involves engaging individuals whose capacity to consent may be impaired. Clinical assessments of decisional capacity have shown poor reliability and there is a need for reliable validated tools to ensure clients are providing informed consent for treatment and care. This study is aimed at developing, validating, and piloting a brief and easy-to-use tool to assist public health clinicians in making ethical decisions when delivering public health care.
