File:Clinical trial newspaper advertisements.JPG

Photograph taken by me of advertisements in a newspaper (LA Weekly, Los Angeles, CA, USA) seeking volunteers to participate in clinical trials. Note that the clinical trials from UCLA and Cedars-Sinai state that they have been approved by the hospital's IRB (Ethics Board). This is a fair-use photograph, because the specific image itself is significant to the article, not merely what it depicts. The image is not replaceable by a free content alternative that depicts the same thing. Although there other ways of recruiting patients for clinical trials (for example, patients with more severe conditions are often recruited in their doctor's office or while they are in the hospital), newspaper advertisements are one of the ways patients and healthy volunteers are recruited.
