ABSTRACT
During a semi-structured interview we ask the participants several
questions based on the perceived role of the interviewee within the informed
consent process. We asked questions pertaining to how informed consent unravels
itself across barriers. Few question topics included how the issue of
socio-economic, geography and custom of the people are addressed, and how the
medical professionals deal with different groups of people and how the
interviewees understood informed consent. Interviews for each group were asked
with different sets of questions and were open enough to allow for probing
questions in order to gain additional information when the opportunity
presented itself. The data were analyzed using interpretative approaches and
the various themes and concepts from each question and response qualitatively
counted and uncovered patterns in the various group perspectives. We examined
the participants’ perspectives and opinions using a visual table for comparing
themes and concepts, and we presented the interviewees’ views.
