U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations for informed consent state that "an investigator shall seek such consent only under circumstances that provide the prospective subject or the representative sufficient opportunity to consider whether or not to participate and that minimize the possibility of coercion or undue influence." Coercion occurs when an overt or implicit threat of harm is intentionally presented by one person to another in order to obtain compliance. Which of the circumstances could be seen as constituting coercion? Select all that apply. None of the other answer choices are instances of coercion. A researcher has developed a vaccine against a new virus. The researcher is recruiting healthy adult volunteers from an inner city to determine if the vaccine is safe in humans. Volunteers will be paid for their participation. One participant tells one of the research nurses that he would not have enrolled in the study, but he recently lost his job and needs the money. He claims that he feels as though he has no alternative but to participate. A research nurse is asked to consent and provide samples for three minimal risk studies during her first week on the job. She is told "everyone working here is enrolled in these studies." Employees at a pharmaceutical company are told that their participation in the company's safety study will be noted in their review file.
