An Experiment With Informed Community Consent

Ralph Crawshaw, MD; Michael J. Garland, DSc Rel; Brian Hines, MSW; Caroline Lobitz, MD

JAMA. 1985;254(22):3213-3216.

Abstract
Oregon Health Decisions is a citizen-based project intended to develop statewide awareness of severe bioethical dilemmas. The project has set in motion civic means for addressing and resolving problems in Oregon's health provision system associated with personal autonomy, equity of access, prevention of illness, and humane cost containment. The process of civic involvement with consequent results is described together with the implications for future health policy in Oregon and elsewhere.
