Show moreObjective: To investigate patient preferences and the determinants of participation willingness in or-thopaedic diagnostic or invasive surgical randomized controlled trials.Methods: This observational study included one hundred patients visiting an orthopaedic clinic. The pa-tients answered if they were willing to participate in a hypothetical invasive and diagnostic trial among patients with a distal radius fracture.Results: We found no difference in participation willingness in either the invasive surgical (66/100) or the diagnostic trial (68/100, p = 0.76). Willingness to participate was not associated with age, gender, country of origin, level of education, marital status, or distance of home from the hospital with the confidence interval for all odds ratios including the value 1. Patients who expressed willingness to participate do so because they wanted to contribute to science; patients who declined to participate wanted to speak with a doctor and to be better informed.Conclusion: This study showed a high rate of willingness to participate in orthopaedic surgical invasive trials and in diagnostic trials. Nevertheless, to ensure participation, it is recommended to put emphasis on the contribution to science and to give adequate information about the trial including the opportunity to talk to a doctor.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd.

Show moreConclusion: Results indicate that beliefs regarding the cause and controllability of problems are important to understand parents' motivation to participate in parenting support. Notable differences were found regarding the period during the child's life that parenting support was perceived as most relevant. Motivation to participate was higher during various stages of transition, which ranged from the transition to parenthood, to toddlerhood, the age of seven, and adolescence. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
