Do participants receive compensation?

Compensation in clinical studies

Compensation for participating in clinical studies may be offered, especially for healthy volunteers. However, in studies where you are a patient (patient studies), financial compensation is less common. 

What compensation do I receive?

The compensation for participating in a study is determined before the study begins and is reviewed by the Ethical Review Authority. The financial compensation depends on the scope of the study. It is a common misunderstanding that compensation is based on risk; instead, it is based on the time you need to dedicate to participate. Compensation is taxable, and if you are served food at the clinic, deductions will be made according to the Swedish Tax Agency's tables. It is often possible to receive travel reimbursement to and from the clinic (but not to and from the health check-up). Sometimes, you are also compensated for lost income. 

Your compensation will be paid on the last weekday of the month after you complete your study, but no earlier than 3 weeks after your last visit.
