Informed Consent
This 8 page mini zine discusses how to use the BRAINS acronym (benefits, risks, alternatives, instinct, "no," and space) in medical settings. This tool helps patients to feel more informed, more empowered, and less traumatized by their experience. Especially useful during labor & birth, but can be applied to any medical procedure or experience!
“This zine introduces the concepts of informed consent using the BRAINS acronym. Honestly, I wish I had come across this when I was much younger because autonomy and self-advocacy (particularly in medical settings) don't always feel natural or comfortable for me.” —Zine reader
