Purpose To examine how participants in actual
clinical trials perceive information on payments investigators might receive from companies that is contained in real consent forms.

Hypothesis Information on payments to investigators
has a greater influence on the participants’ decision to enroll in a study than other information provided in the consent form.

Conclusions • Information about risks and rights have the greatest
influence on a decision whether or not to participate in a study.
• Disclosure of payments does not substantially affect most participants’ decision to enroll in a clinical trial.
• Many participants may not comprehend or understand information presented in consent forms on payments to investigators.

Conclusions • Disclosure language is not the only piece of information
in the informed consent documents that participants have problems understanding
• What participants recall from the consent process does not always reflect the real content of the informed consent document itself.

Limitations • Parent protocols were sponsored by the NIH and not a
pharmaceutical company. • Parents/guardians and actual participants were surveyed • Participants that opted not to take part in this study might
have different perceptions

Future Directions • Conduct debriefing interviews to develop a better
understanding of the informed consent process and how it relates to information provide in the informed consent document.
• Considering implementation a mandatory post-consent process comprehension evaluation procedure for all studies
