Evaluating the Impact of Incentives on Clinical Trial Participation

Evaluating the Impact of Incentives on HIV Related Clinical Trial Participation

The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of incentives on clinical trial participation. 1) characterize key stakeholders' views on and assessment of incentives, 2) reach consensus among stakeholders on the factors to be considered when choosing incentives and their relative importance, 3) pilot test using vignettes for incentive decision making. We hypothesize that potential study participants make trade-offs regarding the characteristics of a research study when deciding whether to volunteer. This amendment is to document IRB reliance between UCR and USF.
