Description
- Abstract:
- As participants in federally funded studies, prisoners in the United States are afforded special protections beyond those governing traditional human subjects research. While these rules have been in place since 1976, surprisingly little empirical attention has been paid to how prisoners arrive at decisions to participate in modern research. The prevailing ethical concerns for clinical research involving prisoners are that they will be coerced or unfairly exploited. The present study sought to fill this gap by identifying a more comprehensive range of factors as identified by prisoners themselves. We hypothesized that participants would endorse a broad range of factors including a desire for treatment, altruism, compensation, and for entertainment, and that few, if any, would describe being coerced into enrolling.
