Background: We investigated the impact of financial compensation on patients' decision of participation in clinical trials and the related factors with patients' attitudes and considerations. Methods: A survey questionnaire was placed from October 31 to November 16, 2017 to the subjects who were enrolled in the trials of chronic diseases. Patients' socio-demographic characteristics were collected and the potential reasons for participating in the trials were assessed using 5-likert scores. Results: Sixty eight of 110 respondents (61.8%) indicated to participate clinical trials regardless of financial compensation. The differences were found between patients who were unwilling to participate without compensation and those who were willing to participate regardless of compensation in mean ages (43.9 years vs. 52.0 years, p<0.05), marital status (married, 47.6% vs 79.4%, p<0.01), religions (yes, 45.2% vs 67.6%, p<0.05) and monthly income (${\geq}3$ million won, 19.0% vs 45.6%, p<0.01). The potential reasons for participation in the trials between two groups were doctor's suggestion (52.4% vs. 77.9%, p<0.01), the expectation of health improvement (54.8% vs. 73.5%, p<0.05), the types and numbers of procedure (33.3% vs. 16.2%, p<0.05) and the duration of clinical trials (59.5% vs. 27.9%, p=0.001). In regression analysis, the monthly income of ${\geq}3$ million won (odd ratio, OR=3.221, p=0.026,) and the duration of trials (OR=0.290, p=0.017) were related to the group with the willingness to participate regardless of compensation. Conclusion: This stady showed that more than half of study subjects would participate in the clinical trials of chronic diseases regardless of financial compensation.

이 논문은 울산시 북구의 음식물자원화 시설 건립을 둘러싼 환경 갈등에 대한 '시민 배심원제'의 적용을 분석한다. 북구의 시민배심원제는 우리나라에서 보기 드문 숙의적 시민참여 모델의 적용 사례로서 중요한 의미를 띤다. 이 논문은 우선 이론적으로 시민참여의 유형화를 통해서 숙의적 시민참여의 성격을 파악하였다. 시민참여의 유형화는 두 가지 기준에 바탕을 둔다. 첫째, 1차 참여자가 시민들인가 아니면 시민들을 포함한 여러 이해당사자 집단들인가? 둘째, 각 시민참여 모델이 상정하는 의사소통구조가 상호작용적인가 아닌가? 이 두 가지 기준을 적용하여 네 가지 일반적 시민참여 모델을 도출하였다. 직접 참여 모델, 협의 모델, 협상 모델, 그리고 숙의 모델이 이것들이다. 울산 북구의 시민배심원제에 의한 시민참여 사례는 숙의적 시민참여 모델에 해당된다. 우선 울산 지역의 여러 시민단체에서 선발되었지만 각 시민단체를 대표하는 입장이 아니라 개털 시민의 입장에서 참여가 이루어졌다고 여겨진다. 이론적으로는 이러한 참여자의 선정은 대표성 기준보다 포용성 기준에 의해서 타당성을 부여받을 수 있다. 또한 이러한 시민들을 대변하는 참여자들이 1차 참여자로 숙의의 주체가 되고 전문가, 정부와 주민 측을 대표한 이해당사자들은 증인의 자격으로 정보와 의견을 숙의과정에 투입했다는 점, 사회자에 의한 정보제공 및 숙의과정에 대한 관리가 공정하게 이루어졌다는 점등에서 볼 때 숙의과정의 설계와 집행이 숙의적 시민참여 모델의 기본적인 원칙에 따라서 이루어졌다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 울산 북구의 시민참여 사례가 숙의적 시민참여 모델에 해당하는 것으로 판단되지만 미국에서 확립된 시민배심원제에 해당하는 것을 아니라고 보아야 할 것이다.

The purpose of this research was to determine barriers that prevent participation in an employee wellness program, Wellness Wednesdays: "Eat & Meet" About Healthy Living, conducted at East Carolina University (ECU) in Greenville, North Carolina. All ECU ARAMARK employees (n = 481) over the age of 18 were eligible to participate in the wellness program. Weekly 30 minute classes, taught by a Registered Dietitian, on various nutrition- and health-related topics were conducted for 10-weeks. Five question knowledge quizzes were administered to participants at the end of each class to determine the comprehension of material presented. Qualitative interviews (n = 19) were conducted with employees (participants and non-participants) and the program organizer after the completion of the 10-week program to identify barriers to program participation. A total of 50 (10.4% of the total number of potential participants) ECU ARAMARK employees, managers, and leadership team directors attended Wellness Wednesdays at least once during the 10-week program. Employees, on average, scored 71-100% on the weekly knowledge quizzes administered at the end of each class. The most common barriers to participation reported included (most often to least often reported): insufficient incentives, inconvenient locations, time limitations, not interested in topics presented, undefined reasons, schedule, marketing, health beliefs, and not interested in the program. Results showed that employee wellness programs can be effective in increasing knowledge of employees on nutrition- and health-related topics. However, program planning that addresses identified barriers including insufficient incentives, inconvenient locations, and time limitations may facilitate higher participation in future worksite wellness opportunities.

Manual elections processes in Egypt have several negative effects; that mainly leads to political corruption due to the lack of transparency. These issues negatively influence citizen's participation in the political life; while electronic voting systems aim to increase efficiency, transparency, and reduce the cost comparing to the manual voting. The main research objectives are, finding the successful factors that positively affects E-voting implementation in Egypt, in addition of finding out the reasons that keep Egyptian government far from applying E-voting, and to come up with the road map that Egyptian government has to take into consideration to successfully implement E-voting systems. The findings of the study suggest that there are seven independent variables affecting e-voting implementation which are; leadership, government willingness, legal framework, technical quality, awareness, citizen's trust in government and IT literacy. Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) theory was used to provide an analytical framework for the study. A quantitative approach (i.e., survey questionnaire) strategy was used to collect data. A random sampling method was used to select the participants for the survey, whom are targeted voters in Egypt and have access to the internet, since the questionnaire was distributed online and the data is analyzed using regression analysis. Practical implications of this study will lead for more citizen participation in the political life due to the transparency that E-voting system will create, in addition to reduce the political corruption.

Few studies have examined reasons why those with low socioeconomic status do not adequately receive cancer screening. We therefore conducted a qualitative study to assess the barriers to cancer screening in people with low socioeconomic status, and to examine the reasons why Medical Aid Program (MAP) recipients do not participate in the National Cancer Screening Program (NCSP). A focus group methodology was used. Participants included MAP recipients (men aged 45-79 years, women aged 35-79 years) who had been invited to cancer screening at least twice based on the NCSP protocol, but had not been screened for any cancer from 2009-2012. We recruited participants living in the cities of Goyang and Paju. A total of 23 MAP recipients participated in four focus group discussions, including 12 men and 11 women. In this qualitative study, we identified six barriers to screening: lack of trust in the NCSP and cancer screening units; fear of being diagnosed with cancer; discomfort or pain from the screening procedure; lack of time, lack of knowledge about cancer screening or lack of awareness of the existence of the NCSP; physical disability or underlying disease; and logistic barriers. Interventions such as individualized counseling, letters and reminders, or other individually-targeted strategies, especially for those with lower socioeconomic status are required to increase participation and reduce disparities in cancer screening.
