Also, misinformation was spread during the pandemic about vaccines, which also affected levels of trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group agreed they would be more likely to participate in a trial if it was explained by someone they had come to trust rather than being based on a patient information sheet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another factor was the fear of the unknown. Clinical trials, with imagery of white laboratory coats, impersonal hospital beds and patients dying, were described as &#8220;scary&#8221; by those taking part in the research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Concerns about possible side effects were also discussed in a workshop, along with the ways participation could impact commitments such as employment and childcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, the views of family members and the wider community were found to be contributing factors. Some thought that participating could bring stigma or shame in some communities, talking about their own health-related experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"681\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cardiffjournalism.co.uk\/thecardiffian\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2023\/03\/Talking-Trials-3-2-1024x681.jpeg\" alt=\"The fears of the co-researchers were presented as part of an arts exhibition.
