Description
In the aftermath of the West Africa Ebola outbreak, many grew familiar with the term “Ebola business”, a phrase serving as a shorthand for an assemblage of practices and possibilities that stood for the profitability potential of the deadly Ebola virus in the country. This is the backdrop for a CIHR-funded qualitative study aimed at advancing the understanding of whether and how those approached for clinical research post-Ebola, experienced those invitations and associated benefits.
My role consisted of supporting the analysis and expanding evidence-based understanding of when and on what basis, participants in foreign-funded and remunerated studies in high poverty and health need contexts, understand their choice to opt in or out of research.
