Abstract

The views of 30 children (8–16 years old) attending paediatric medical clinics on paediatric clinical trials were determined by semi-structured interviews. Nineteen children recognised that there were risks involved with taking part in clinical trials. Risks concerned with being paid were recognised by all children.
