About this study

Parental approval to enroll their sick children in clinical research was studied. However, the motivation of parents to enroll healthy children and/or babies was not yet studied. The importance of clinical research among the healthy population is of extreme value. The aim of this study is to assess the motivation, medical trust and other factors influencing parents' decision to enroll their healthy baby in a clinical study.

Read the detailed description

Mothers to either healthy full-term babies post delivery or preterms will be asked to anonymously answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire includes demographic data, questions regarding their approach to medical issues, factors that influence her to enroll her baby in a research trial (different research types, different benefits from the research and fears). Finally, the mother will be asked if she will be willing to enroll her baby to on-going studies in the department.
