E-drug: Growth of clinical trials (cont)
---------------------------------------------

I am not aware of any studies on recruiters for clinical trials. But
there is a report from a US Inspection General on the growth of the
trials and investigators:

The Globalization of Clinical Trials: A Growing Challenge in
Protecting Human Subjects (OEI-01-00-00190; 09/01)

It can be downloaded at http://www.aoa.gov/naic/OIG/default.htm

You can also see Public Citizen's comments on a draft of the report at:
