我们研究了在同意过程中包括研究中介（RI）在减少参与者对强迫参加研究的感知方面的有效性。84名被招募到正在进行的研究中的药物法庭客户被随机接受单独的标准知情同意程序（标准条件）或RI（中间条件）。在获得同意之前，注册机构与客户单独会面，讨论剩余的问题。调查结果提供了初步证据表明，RI减少客户的看法，他们的参与可能会影响临床和司法工作人员如何看待他们。这表明使用RI可以提高临床研究中参与者的自主性。
We examined the efficacy of including a research intermediary (RI) during the consent process in reducing participants' perceptions of coercion to enroll in a research study. Eighty-four drug court clients being recruited into an ongoing study were randomized to receive a standard informed consent process alone (standard condition) or with an RI (intermediary condition). Before obtaining consent, RIs met with clients individually to discuss remaining concerns. Findings provided preliminary evidence that RIs reduced client perceptions that their participation might influence how clinical and judicial staff view them. This suggests that using RIs may improve participant autonomy in clinical studies.
