First week, inform the patient a putative goal and method of clinical trial medicine research, then using Macarthur comprehension evaluation tool-clinical research Ed., evaluate the understanding of all patients for this putative clinical trial research consent form. For experimental group schizophrenic patients, using PANSS score evaluate seriousness of their symptom. 2 weeks later, randomly stratify schizophrenic patients into 2 groups, one give educational intervention for consent form, the other does not, then evaluate again with Macarthur comprehension evaluation tool-clinical research Ed. and PANSS score.
