Online resources: This case was based on a PhD project carried out at Sao Paulo University, Brazil. The central idea was to identify the opinions of several stakeholders in clinical research about a hot topic in bioethics, namely, post-trial access to medication used in studies of pharmaceuticals. In order to include different groups as well as representatives from throughout Brazilian territory, we decided to perform the survey through the Internet. Despite limitations inherent to an Internet survey, this study shows that e-surveys can be a reliable and useful tool, compared with the classical ways of doing academic research (by phone, mail, or face-to-face interviews).
