Participants’ Treatment Perspectives on a Clinical Trial on the Use of Extended-Release Naltrexone for Substance Use Disorders: Considerations for Future Clinical Research

Conclusions: Participant perceptions of trial interventions may frame their experience and participation in clinical studies. These findings demonstrate the need for researchers and clinicians to consider how apprehension and a lack of medication receptivity may impact enrollment and participant autonomy. They also identify opportunities for greater community engagement in trial design and implementation in order to improve participant education about the nature of interventions and the potential of ongoing consent processes integrated throughout studies to promote participant understandings of study purposes and objectives.
