  • Enrolling in Clinical Research While Incarcerated

    Open AccessPaul P Christopher, Lorena G Garcia‐Sampson et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2017

    As a 2006 Institute of Medicine report highlights, surprisingly little empirical attention has been paid to how prisoners arrive at decisions to participate in modern research. With our study, we aimed to fill this gap by identifying a more comprehensive range of factors as reported by prisoners themselves during semistructured interviews. Our participants described a diverse range of motives, both favoring and opposing their eventual decision to…

  • Factors Influencing Iacuc Decision Making

    Open AccessJerald Silverman, Charles W Lidz et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2017References: 3

    Decisions about the appropriate use of animals in research are largely made by Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUCs). Several commentators claim that scientists exert excessive influence on IACUC decisions. We studied 87 protocol reviews from 10 IACUCs to assess whether any group of participants appeared to dominate the protocol discussions. Audio recordings of the meetings were coded to capture the topics of the discussions. We f…

  • Context is Everything

    Open AccessCharles W Lidz, Charles Lidz et al.ARTICLEThe Hastings Center Report2014

    Issues associated with consent to clinical trials have attracted considerable attention recently, spurred in part by controversies over alleged inadequacies in the consent process. Professor Jansen's interesting essay is unusual in two ways. First, it raises issues about the conceptualization of one set of problems in informed consent (which Jansen subsumes under the term “therapeutic error”) and, more critically, about the methods and the data u…

  • Restoring Balance

    James M Dubois, Laura M Beskow et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2012

    A diverse panel convened in June 2011 to explore a dilemma in human research: some traits may make individuals or communities particularly vulnerable to a variety of harms in research; however, well-intended efforts to protect these vulnerable individuals and communities from harm may actually generate a series of new harms. We have presented a consensus statement forged by the panel through discussion during a 2-day meeting and the article-writi…

  • The Participation of Community Members on Medical Institutional Review Boards

    Open AccessCharles W Lidz, Lorna J Simon et al.ARTICLEJournal of Empirical Research on…2012Cited by: 1References: 1

    The goal of this study was to describe the contributions of community members (unaffiliated members) who serve on institutional review boards (IRBs) at large medical research centers and to compare their contributions to those of other IRB members. We observed and audiotaped 17 panel meetings attended by community members and interviewed 15 community members, as well as 152 other members and staff. The authors coded transcripts of the panel meeti…

  • Therapeutic Misconception in Clinical Research

    Paul S Appelbaum, Peter Appelbaum et al.ARTICLEIRB Ethics and Human Research2004

    The article addresses the frequency and risk factors of therapeutic misconceptions in clinical research. When clinical researchers fail to recognize the ways in which research participation may involve the sacrifice of some degree of personal cares they are said to manifest a therapeutic misconception. Growing concern about the validity of consent obtained from many research subjects has led experts to suggest that therapeutic misconception may c…

  • The Therapeutic Misconception

    Charles W Lidz, Paul S Appelbaum et al.ARTICLEMedical Care2002References: 32

    Background. The therapeutic misconception occurs when a research subject fails to appreciate the distinction between the imperatives of clinical research and of ordinary treatment, and therefore inaccurately attributes therapeutic intent to research procedures. The therapeutic misconception is a serious problem for informed consent in clinical research. Objectives. This paper analyzes the nature and origins of the therapeutic misconception and su…
