There are some fee-charged questionnaires in the social medicine field. If a questionnaire is fee-charged, the researcher developing it may have a financial incentive, and the existence of a conflict of interest should be considered. Therefore, when a manuscript reporting a fee-charged questionnaire is submitted, future fee-charging and the institution managing the questionnaire should be described as potential conflicts of interest. They should also be so described in forms for ethical review and informed consent.
社会医学领域存在一些收费问卷。如果一份问卷是收费的，那么开发该问卷的研究人员可能存在经济利益动机，应考虑是否存在利益冲突。因此，当提交一份报告收费问卷的稿件时，应将未来的收费情况以及管理该问卷的机构描述为潜在的利益冲突。在伦理审查表和知情同意书中也应如此描述。
