Abstract

BACKGROUND

Informed consent (IC) is a key yardstick for the ethical and legal conduct of clinical research involving human subjects. However, the extent to which it meets its obligations in low-income settings remains under-examined. This study explored the views and experiences of informed consent among research participants at the KAVI-Institute for Clinical Research, Nairobi, Kenya.
