Australians reluctant to participate in clinical trials [Video]

In the lead-up to International Clinical Trial Day on Monday, 20th May, a recent survey reveals that only 16% of Australians have engaged in clinical trials.

Although over 493,000 active clinical trials are taking place globally, 80% of clinical trials are delayed due to recruitment issues.

The survey identified several barriers to participation, including uncertainty about possible side effects (57%), inconvenience of trial location (44%), and the time commitment required (32%).

Concerns about being a “guinea pig” for new treatments (25%) and the financial cost of participation (30%) are also notable factors influencing Australia’s decisions.
