    Abstract

    The author reflects on the payment of people with mental illness to participate in research. One problem with high levels of payment is the possibility that a person will ignore the potential risks involved in a study, including physical, emotional or psychological consequences. The problems are intensified by the possibility that patients may not understand either the consent process or the diverse implications of participation. Research has shown that schizophrenics consider the risks involved when deciding whether or not to participate.
