Abstract

The purpose of this research project was to determine parental perceptions surrounding the involvement of their children in a clinical trial. A secondary purpose was to talk to the children and obtain their perceptions surrounding their own involvement in the clinical trial. For this ORCA funded project I analyzed interviews with the parents to find out their perceptions. In a future project (for which I will be applying for an ORCA grant) I hope to analyze interviews with the children and gain their insight into their involvement in the clinical trial.
