A New Measure of Research Participant Burden: Brief Report

In: Journal of empirical research on human research ethics: JERHRE ; an international journal, Band 9, Heft 4, S. 46-49

Abstract

Effective conceptualizations of research burden should address indirect burdens related to research duration, intensity, and invasiveness. Introducing the concept of perceived research burden, we developed, tested, and validated a new instrument, the Perceived Research Burden Assessment (PeRBA). Initial psychometric evaluation of PeRBA reveals good internal consistency, evidence of face validity, and acceptable convergent and discriminant validity.
