 This study examined the levels of satisfaction and perceptions of research participants from diverse backgrounds who participated in clinical trials. The results showed that the majority of participants reported being very satisfied with their experience, with the most common reasons being access to quality care, learning more about their illness and helping others. Additionally, the majority of participants said they would recommend a friend or family member to participate in a clinical trial and would also be willing to participate in future trials. These findings suggest that providing quality care, access to healthcare professionals and opportunities to learn more about one's illness can help increase satisfaction among research participants from diverse backgrounds.
