Study design attributes influenced patients' willingness to participate in clinical research: a randomized vignette-based study
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To identify characteristics of clinical research projects that influence patients' willingness to participate in research.
STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: We surveyed all patients discharged during 1 month from a Swiss public teaching hospital. We described four hypothetical studies and asked patients whether they would agree to participate. We randomly manipulated three study attributes in each vignette, using a factorial design.
