Exploring knowledge and attitudes toward electronic informed consent among clinical trial participants in China: a cross-sectional study
The results of this study indicate that most participants have a good understanding of eIC-related knowledge and hold a positive attitude toward its implementation. However, they also express concerns about data protection and privacy security in eIC. These findings provide a foundation for developing targeted strategies to enhance the adoption and acceptance of eIC among diverse populations.
