Key Points Question What are the opinions of the general public on the ethics of pragmatic trial designs in which specific informed consent is obtained after randomization from only the active arm of the trial? Findings In this online survey study of 2004 members of the US general public, most participants (75.4%) would recommend approval of the ethics of the trial design, although personal involvement in such trials had a lower approval rate. Better understanding of the postrandomization consent design was associated with a higher rate of approval. Meaning Although controversial, postrandomization consent for pragmatic trials may be ethically acceptable to the public, and education may increase its acceptance.
