Abstract
Participatory research, where participants in research projects take an active role in research activities is an emerging trend that helps participants understand the long- term impact of research, reduces participant dropout rates, and shapes research for greater value to patients. One way to involve participants in research is to have them participate in making research results available to the general public. To learn about the feasibility of this approach, we conducted a study comparing crowdsourced medication warnings derived from research literature to expert-produced warnings derived from the same literature. Through a survey with 159 respondents, we learned that they mostly favored the expert-produced warnings, although for one set of warnings the respondents preferred the crowdsourced warnings in terms of how comprehensive they were. The study suggests that crowdsourcing techniques combined with expert supervision and input could provide reasonable ways for participants in clinical trials to be more active participants in the studies in which they participate.
