Relational autonomy and decision making: Improving clinical trial enrolment in cancer care.
FY 2010-11
Summary
Very few cancer patients in Canada take part in clinical trial research, which aims to assess whether new treatments work and are safe. Increasing the involvement of cancer patients in clinical trials is important to advance cancer research and improve patient outcomes. The purpose of this study is to explore through an ethics lens the factors that inform cancer patients' decisions about taking part in clinical trials, including sense of personal autonomy, social network, and institutional structures, such as access to clinical trials. In addition, this research will identify ways in which health professionals can best support patients' autonomy in the clinical trial decision-making process. The ultimate goal of this research is to develop a more ethical and patient-centred recruitment and consent process within the clinical trial context.
