Compensation and Reimbursement to Trial Participants
Compensation and Reimbursement to Trial Participants
Section outline
Although not always standard, it is customary in many clinical studies that participants receive some form of compensation for their participation. This may take the form of money, the reimbursement of travel expenses, food or food vouchers, or other services. This lesson will introduce the current standards for such compensation, and prompt you to think about a few key aspects such as ethics, questions around vulnerable populations, and the involvement of different stakeholders.
