TL;DRAbstract

More than a third of patients had no particular expectations of what trial participation would be like. Over half did not believe that doctors knew best about whether or not they should participate, and the vast majority rejected the proposition that a refusal to participate would have upset the doctor. Half of the patients believed that there was little risk in testing new drugs, and most felt that people do not have a moral duty to become research subjects.
