Electronic consent (eConsent) has the potential to cost-effectively scale research recruitment and improve equity in access to research benefits, but it is unclear whether it achieves comparable informedness compared to traditional consent. In a randomized, controlled, non-inferiority trial (N=604; ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT04131062), we compared a human conversation-based consent process to an eConsent platform similar to that used by NIHs All of Us Research Program and by studies conducted via Apple ResearchKit. Average comprehension scores of participants randomized to eConsent were non-inferior (M = 85.8, SD = 14.7) to those randomized to traditional consent (M = 76.5, SD = 22.3; t(600.6) = 9.51, p < .001). Researchers should give serious consideration to adoption of eConsent as an alternative or supplement to traditional consent. Indeed, the pattern of results we observed suggests that eConsent might yield more informed research enrollment decisions.
