Partners in the community can help researchers, it points out, by highlighting flaws in study design, recruiting participants, and strengthening the informed-consent process. The report also suggests that poor people in the United States are becoming more wary of participating in research, after years of involvement in studies and scant indication that the findings have any real impact on their lives.
