Soon, we expect to have a website with some details to share with all. Getting started, we have run smack into the issue of confidentiality and consent. I'd like to post the scenario and ask for your advice: A third-year medical student is developing a take-home multimedia information packet on diabetes. She has asked our help in getting input from low literacy adults with diabetes as she works on the packet's contents and format. We thought we would provide her with a list of our volunteer tutors and their phone numbers. She will randomly call some of them to ask if they are aware of whether their learning partner has diabetes. If by chance she finds a tutor who knows his/her learner is diabetic, she will then discuss with the tutor whether the tutor would be comfortable placing a call to the learner. If so, the tutor would tell the learner about the project, and invite the learner to call the medical student to participate in a short, oral questionnaire on the phone about the take-home packet. Reactions, please. We have a raging debate gong on in our office. Many thanks. Deborah W.
