Description

Sylk Sotto-Santiago, Melissa Pangelinan, Zoe Orrel, and a team of co-authors ask biomedical researchers what trust means in their work. Public trust in science has been slipping under the pressure of false claims, and the people who run studies sit on the front line of earning it back.

The team interviewed researchers in clinical and translational science and sorted their views into themes. The researchers spoke of trust at three levels: their own conduct, their institutions' conduct, and fairness toward the communities they study. Many felt committed to health equity but wanted more chances to reflect on what being worthy of trust demands in practice. The authors stress that good intentions are not enough; trust must be deserved through action.
