DESCRIPTION: (provided by applicant) The project investigates medical research in the private sector to document how human subject volunteers obtain and understand information before enrolling in medical research and what factors influence their decisions to participate (or not participate) in research protocols. Specifically, this project will answer the following question: What are the effects of private sector recruitment, inducement, and consent practices on human subject volunteers' understanding of and decision-making about participation in medical research? Nested within this research question, this project will also query how do inducements for investigators' and research staff influence these research practices? The research mobilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods to collect and analyze data on research protocol for anxiety, depression, and insomnia. Observational studies and semi-structured interviewing will be carried out over 6 months in a core site in a national full-service contract research organization. The quantitative surveys, collected over 12 months, will provide additional breadth to the study by increasing the number of individuals in the analysis and the number of research protocols in which respondents are involved. The surveys will enable a generalization of the findings to guide future research on the effects of and ethics of the privatization of medical research on informed consent. Additionally, the results will begin to provide a basis for valid recommendations to address the ethical challenges raised by the privatization of medical research.

描述：（由申请人提供）该项目调查了私营部门的医学研究，以记录人类受试者在参加医学研究之前如何获得和理解信息，以及哪些因素影响其参与研究协议的决策（或不参与）。具体来说，该项目将回答以下问题：私营部门招聘，诱因和同意实践对人类受试者志愿者对参与医学研究的理解和决策的影响是什么？在这个研究问题中，该项目还将查询研究人员的诱因和研究人员如何影响这些研究实践？该研究动员了定性和定量方法，以收集和分析有关焦虑，抑郁和失眠的研究方案数据。观察研究和半结构化访谈将在国家全方位服务合同研究组织的核心地点进行6个月。在12个月内收集的定量调查将通过增加分析中的个体数量以及参与受访者的研究方案的数量来为研究提供额外的广度。这些调查将使调查结果概括，以指导对医学研究对知情同意的私有化影响和伦理的未来研究。此外，结果将开始为有效建议提供基础，以应对医学研究私有化提出的道德挑战。
