TL;DR

Assessment of the self-reported role that altruism, healthcare receipt, and financial gain play in the motivation of subjects with symptoms of bronchial asthma, seasonal allergic Rhinitis, and perennial nonallergic rhinitis who attempted to enroll in clinical trials found that self- reported financial motives were less important than illness-related healthcare.

Abstract

Subjects with symptoms of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and perennial nonallergic rhinitis entered clinical trials for altruistic reasons and to receive healthcare treatment for their chronic illness including related health education. For the entire group, self-reported financial motives were less important than illness-related healthcare.
