Abstract: The attitudes of dental patients towards participation in research and the independent socioeconomic factors associated with these attitudes are not known. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 120 patients attending dental clinics in Amman, Jordan.

This, however, contrasts with other studies showing that more than 90% stated a similar reason (9,12,13).

“…Essentially, if research participants believe they are receiving the usual medical care, and have incorrect beliefs that their treatment will be tailored to their needs and be beneficial to them, they might not appreciate the risk associated with clinical trials, thus further undermining the validity of their informed consent (9). While the prevalence and factors associated with therapeutic misconception in the developed world have been explored (10,11), only a few studies have explored the extent to which it exists in the developing world, including the EMR (12). A better understanding of the prevalence and the underlying factors associated with therapeutic misconception would allow investigators to address these issues prior to initiating their research.…”
