Abstract

The quality of information given to family members of patients with Alzheimer's disease was studied. The patients had participated in a pharmacological investigation. The relatives were generally satisfied with the information given, and perceived it as adequate. The reasons given for allowing the patients to participate in the investigation were mainly altruistic.
