Clinical research: volunteers in trials
Adults who took part in clinical trials at an academic research center, by trial area: age, sex, race and ethnicity, why they joined, travel to the site, how hard the visits were, how well they understood consent, trust in research and whether they would join again. For testing recruitment, payment and trial-design choices.
