Undue Inducement

This study explores ethical issues raised in providing medical care to participants and communities of low-resource settings involved in a Phase II/III pediatric malaria vaccine trial (PMVT). We conducted 52 key informant interviews with major stakeholders of an international multi-center PMVT (GSK/PATH-MVI RTS,S) (NCT00866619) in Ghana and Tanzania. Based on their stakeholder experiences, the responses fell into three main themes: (a) undue inducement, (b) community disparities, and (c) broad therapeutic misconceptions. The study identified the critical ethical aspects, from the perspectives of stakeholders, of delivering health care during a PMVT. The study showed that integrating research into health care services needs to be addressed in a manner that upholds the favorable risk–benefit ratio of research and attends to the health needs of local populations. The implementation of research should aim to improve local standards of care through building a collaborative agenda with local institutions and systems of health.

Participation In Research

Background: Despite the use of research incentives in the recruitment and retention of participants for research studies, there remains debate over the acceptable use of participant incentives in research. There appears to be a paucity of guidelines that can assist researchers in demonstrating practically how incentives may be ethically used in research.Objective: This single site pilot study explored the experiences of key stakeholders involved in rehabilitation research to highlight what may constitute acceptable practices for incentives.Methods: A qualitative inquiry with use of semi-structured interviews with four key informants from a single site was undertaken. Data was audio-recorded and analysed thematically using deductive reasoning.Results: The findings reflect a description of what incentives constitute; the issues around undue inducement and use of incentives in practice. Participants’ offered their perceptions on perceived acceptable versus unacceptable practices in the use incentives in research. Participants shared their concern over research incentives being used to sway participation in research rather than reimburse participants for their expenses or offering a token of appreciation.Conclusion: There is a need for education of practitioners and researchers to develop skill to aid researchers to evaluate the ethical dilemmas related to the use of incentives in research.Keywords: Participant incentives, rehabilitation research, researchers’ perspectives.
