The success of clinical research depends heavily on patients' willingness to participate in studies. In recent years much work has been dedicated to studying the problems of conducting research in psychiatry, mainly in schizophrenia patients. In an attempt to replicate previous findings and extend results beyond schizophrenia, we interviewed patients suffering from schizophrenia or depression in a large academic centre concerning their attitudes towards psychiatric research. Ninety-five patients with a diagnosis of schizophrenia (48) or depression (47) completed the "Hamburg General Attitudes to Psychiatric Research Questionnaire" self-report instrument. Furthermore, demographic and clinical data were collected. Illness severity was evaluated using Clinical Global Impression and Global Assessment of Functioning scores. In general, patients approved of psychiatric research, and attitudes towards specific areas of research and research methods were rather positive. There were no significant differences between the two diagnostic groups regarding reasons for participation or non-participation in a clinical trial. The theoretical willingness to participate in studies was highest for studies using a questionnaire. Receiving sufficient information about a study before taking part was stated to be highly important. Our findings confirm and extend those of other groups. This should encourage psychiatrists at least in academic settings where most of this research has been done to approach patients to take part in clinical research.
