“…Perceived personal benefits from medical exams and treatment, and avoiding illness by being vaccinated as part of the trial were also found to be motivators, which is comparable to findings from Australia, 26 US, [28][29][30]35,39,40 and Europe. 27,31,32,36,42 Study participants confirmed they were at risk for dengue and thought a dengue vaccine would be beneficial. However, most would not participate and almost all would not allow their children to participate in a dengue vaccine trial.…”

“…In these patient groups, the next of kin may be more prepared to provide proxy consent. For parents of young children, the primary motives for consenting for research are future benefit for other children and the contribution to clinical science; benefit to their own child appears to be secondary [5,6]. For adult patients with dementia, the hope of benefit to the patient or patient's descendents predominated in drug trials, while more altruistic motives prevailed in studies not evaluating potential treatments [7].…”

“…They are also concerned about the health of their child and feel pressure to give consent [11]. In such a stressful situation, a notable group of parents state that they feel obliged to take part in the study or that they feel to have no choice in the interest of their child's health [59][60][61]. In contrast, in emergency situations parents fear that doing research would cause a delay starting the proper treatment [15,57].…”
