Exploratory interviews with Australian clinical research staff on how they communicate with participants.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The connection between participants and their research team can affect how safe, informed, and respected a participant feels, and their willingness to complete a research project. Communication between researchers and participants is key to developing this connection, but there is little published work evaluating how communication during clinical research is conducted.

Purpose

This paper explores what communications happen (and how) with research participants in Australia post consenting to participate in clinical research. It provides reflections from Australians working in clinical research about their current strategies, or those they would like to use, to communicate with research participants.

Methods
