Description
Summary:Researchers conducted a survey of institutional review board (IRB) members and research ethics professionals to address the lack of systematic data concerning attitudes about payment generally, and to determine how these individuals think about the concepts of coercion and undue influence specifically. Data found that the excessively expansive or inconsistent views about coercion and undue influence held by IRB members and human subjects professionals may interfere with the recruitment of research participants by needlessly limiting the payments offered to them and may thereby impede valuable research without true cause.
