N2 - Attitudes of patients toward the necessity of physician consent in epidemiologic studies were assessed. Questionnaires were mailed to women with breast, endometrial and ovarian cancers who had previously participated in a personal interview study (N = 692). Of respondents (N = 514), only 2 per cent would have preferred their physician to have withheld approval, and half considered physician permission necessary. Thirty-five per cent reported that their doctor talked to them about the study prior to the interview. Implications of including physician consent in study protocols are discussed.
