Description
ABSTRACT: This study examined the research consent obtained from female sexual assault victims at the time of a crisis admission. It also explored female sexual assault victims' general perceptions of research participation. Fifteen women who presented to Women's College Hospital's Sexual Assault Care Centre between 1993 and 1995 inclusive, and who signed research consent forms, were included in the study. These women were interviewed regarding their recollections and perceptions of the original research request, and their willingness to participate in future research studies. The vast majority (93.3%) of these women did not object to being contacted by the interviewer and were willing to participate in future research. Strikingly, 93.3% could not recall signing a consent form at the time of hospital contact. These findings are discussed in terms of the difficulty in assessing informed consent in sexual assault research. Key words: Sexual assault Research ethics Informed consent
