CHWs can be utilised in engagement activities, however they may over-emphasize trial benefits when sharing trial information and may face animosity from community members during information sharing (Angwenyi et al., 2013). Both Field Workers and CHWs may be utilised in clinical trials. This combination may be beneficial and challenging.

Informed consent is accepted as one way to put the principle into practice. If there were no such thing as informed consent, patients’ autonomy would not be possible.
