Which is true of inducements in research? Like coercion, undue inducement is easy for IRBs to determine. Inducements, like coercion, are always inappropriate, as they violate the ethical principle of respect for persons. Inducements constitute an "undue influence" if they alter a potential subject's decision-making processes, such that they do not appropriately weigh the risk-benefit relationship of the research. Offering $10 for an hour long research study constitutes undue inducement.

Answer: Inducements constitute an "undue influence" if they alter a potential subject's decision-making processes, such that they do not appropriately weigh the risk-benefit relationship of the research.

Explanation:

Undue inducements are propositions that are so extremely attractive that they drive people to act in a way they ordinarily wouldn't, or in a way that they would normally question on account of possible risks or underlying values.

Inducements are usually admissible, but sometimes they are undue, and the limit is difficult to be established. They become undue influence if they change potential subjects' decision-making, undermining their capacity to properly weigh the risks and benefits of their participation in research.
